you have pop3 in the wrong place. its looking for a server named "pop3" if y ou are using yahoo.com and you have set this up before use the same settings as you did before.

pop.mail.yahoo.com (incoming) and smtp.mail.yahoo.com (outgoing)

Yahoo! Mail requires a premium subscription for POP3 access.
