what's the exact error???

To download your mails from yahoo to your computer you need to modified the options from yahoo website and activate the pop3 access. if you didn't do that could cause the error.
Other reason could be that you've wrote wrong the server name( in my case is: pop.mail.yahoo.com.ar) you need to get it from yahoo web page.

if you can give me more details, maybe i can help you.

I'm using thunderbird from mozilla and i don't have any problem. If you want to download any of these programs you can do a google search.
