Yahoo Mail

How can i get my yahoo mail to go to the "mail" icon on the dock? I tried setting it up but it asked for a description and an "incoming mail server" what do i put in these fields? Any help and tips would be great.

If not, ask again with details on where you get stuck, etc.

Good luck in any case.

you can't access yahoo mail from a mail client like Mail if you have a free yahoo account.

You need to pay for Yahoo Plus, but this is how you set up Apple Mail:

Correct. Yahoo Plus costs $20 per year. Well worth it, in my opinion. I just wish they offered IMAP in addition to POP3.
