Before the decision to make Yahoo email access to POP/SMTP in the US a "for pay" site I do not think that Yahoo cared too much in which geographical area you created an account. So it may well be that your account is domiciled in the US Yahoo region and the rules (as the link you posted above) apply to you as they do to me. Yahoo has, in more recent times, realized that it needed to prevent US users from creating mail accounts outside the US to maximize its revenue stream so it will not, for example, allow me to create a free account with free POP/SMTP servers in Australia.
I suspect that you can create a new free account in Australia. You may just want to wait for the Webmail Author to fix this issue (as we have seen this talented provider do so many times) and see where Yahoo goes with the provisioning (again) of free POP/SMTP servers in the US.
