I use yahoo with evolution. Only IMAP is paid, you can still use POP3 for free which is what I do. It fetches the message to my computer and the big advantage of evolution over thunderbird is its backup feature. I only have to copy the gzipped and import it in evolution after.

Did you check ports? There are these ports for SMTP if you're using it:

25 or 587 (AUTH)
587 (StartTLS)
465 (SSL)
