Checking my yahoo mail

How come when i try to logon to my yahoo mail it says :

Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol:
POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid user/password', Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

Do I have the wrong srver names? Where do I get the correct ones?

Do you have a paid Yahoo account?
US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP.
If you have a premium (paid) account, your settings are not
correct. Use these:

Either your user name or your password is wrong in the account settings,
server tab. Note that some servers just want the Noise part and some want
