Bon, c'est confirmé, j'ai envoyé un email directement à Yahoo pour en savoir plus sur cette histoire de POP Mail et le passage payant à Mail Plus pour qu'il fonctionne, et j'ai eu la confirmation comme quoi il faut passer à Yahoo Mail Plus si l'on veut pouvoir utiliser cette fonction avec l'appli Mail sur notre Mac.
Etant en ".com" (email Yahoo U.S.) voici leur réponse en anglais (qui confirme ce que je viens de dire):
"Hello,
Thank you for contacting Yahoo! Mail Customer Care.
I understand you want to configure your MAC email client to send and
receive Yahoo! Mail messages. I apologize for the inconvenience this has
caused.
According to our records, the Yahoo! ID "xxxxxxxxxxl" is not subscribed
to Yahoo! Mail Plus. POP (Post Office Protocol) Access is an exclusive
feature for users who have purchased the Yahoo! Mail Plus Premium
Service.
In addition to POP Access, here are some other great features listed
below which are exclusive to Yahoo! Mail Plus subscribers:
- AddressGuard
- Archiving
- No Ads
- 200 filters
- No tagline footer on outgoing messages sent via the web or SMTP
Please note: information regarding POP or SMTP server settings is only
available to Mail Plus users.
In addition to POP access Mail Plus users have the ability to chat live.
Below is the link to try out our Live Chat support the next time you
need help:

I hope this answers your question. If you need any further assistance,
please feel free to contact us again.
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Mail Customer Care.

Wilson
Yahoo! Mail Customer Care"
Je vais donc passer à Yahoo Mail Plus et payer les 20$ par an (c'est pas la mer à boire mais bon...)
