Those settings worked for a while on both mine and my wife's phone. Mine rooted and her's non rooted. Eventually we started getting errors on both phones even with those proper settings. I ended up installing the Yahoo app from the market on both phones.

It is an issue with yahoo because of their security. Reason why I stopped using it years ago. They also will not give you the IMAP settings to set it up yourself and only offer pop3
