Can't Set Up Yahoo Mail Account

Hi,
I have a @yahoo.com.au account and keep getting an error when trying to set it up using the Yahoo! Mail setup on the mail app. It keeps saying the username or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com".

I tried setting it up manually using POP, but while it can at least receive emails, it can't send!

Does anyone have a way of fixing either of these problems?

Thanks.

iMac G5 17" 1GB memory, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

HI ...

Login to your Yahoo account on your computer to make sure the password is correct.

Does the password or Yahoo! ID have any special characters? Mobile devices can experience compatibility limits with passwords that contain special characters. If your password contains any special characters you can always log on to a computer and change your Yahoo password so to something that's more compatible.

Have you tried setting it up manually as follows:

Account type: yahoo.com.au (POP)
Incoming mail server: mail.yahoo.com.au
Outgoing mail server: mail.yahoo.com.au
