As the messages clearly state...

"Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly."

Have you not considered consulting the Yahoo help services?

Which Yahoo service are you trying to use?
UK, USA or elsewhere?

Your server names "yahoo" and "imap" are wrong.

Consult your local Yahoo support site for the correct ones
then change them by

Tools > Accounts > your email > Properties > Servers

Please advise!!

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled.

You have an incorrect SMTP server name.. it's not "SMTP"
Windows Mail cannot access Hotmail accounts anyway..

You will need to download and use the newer Windows Live Mail..
