how do you have the servers configured?  Here's mine (Thunderbird):
pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com  port 110 use secure connection: 'no' checked
smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com port 25 use secure connection: 'no' checked

I just set up kmail with the above settings (no choice on ports though), 
and after a little while at the "checking security capabilities of 
sbcglobal.net" window, I was able to just start downloading my mail.

I tried to send a test message to myself, and had to modify the account 
settings and add my user name and password, then all went well.
