Make sure you have:
pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com port 110 for incoming
smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com port 25 for outgoing

And make sure the server type is "POP3" for incoming mail.  Also, you
have to have let SBC Yahoo! know that you're accessing your mail.  Log
in on the web, go to Options in the upper right hand corner, click
"Pop Access and Forwarding"  and make sure "Web and Pop Access" is
selected.

Make sure your username, password, and method of access are right.  In
Evolution, for example, there is a "login" method and, separately, a
"password" method.  Fortunately, there's a button to let me "check for
supported types", which shows that my POP3 server supports only
"password".

I doubt that it's a problem with Thunderbird, SBC Yahoo!, or the
combination.  It's likely some setting somewhere.
