First of all, you check yahoo mail through the Yahoo server, NOT the
"Microsoft" server.
Secondly, unless you have either a paid-for yahoo.com account, or a yahoo.uk
and (I think) a yahoo.fr email address, you can't without the assistance of
a third party application called Ypops...

Unless you have a premium (paid) Yahoo account, you
are better off using webmail on a laptop.

YPOPS has been mentioned here frequently, but I tend to shy away
from recommending it because
a) it takes a certain amount of tech savvy to set up, and
b) it is contrary to Yahoo's TOS, so they can terminate your account
if they find out you are using it.
