I have successfully configured mew to read mail for both of my pop accounts: yahoo mail & gawab mail.  Unfortunately, I can only send mail through the gawab account using mew.  I can successfully send mail through yahoo when I use an alternative email client.

The only difference between the yahoo and gawab account is that yahoo uses ssl.  Here is how I have mew configured for yahoo:

  (setq mew-name "Glen Rubin")
  (setq mew-user "rubinglen")
  (setq mew-mail-domain "yahoo.com")
  (setq mew-smtp-server "smtp.mail.yahoo.com")
  (setq mew-smtp-ssl t)
  (setq mew-smtp-user "rubinglen at example.com")
  (setq mew-smtp-auth-list '("PLAIN" "LOGIN" "CRAM-MD5"))
  (setq mew-smtp-port 465)
  (setq mew-smtp-ssl-port 465)
  (setq mew-use-smtp-auth t)
  (setq mew-tls-smtp "smtp")
  (setq mew-pop-user "rubinglen")
  (setq mew-pop-server "pop.mail.yahoo.com")
  (setq mew-pop-auth 'pass)
  (setq mew-pop-ssl t)
  (setq mew-pop-ssl-port 995)
  (setq mew-ssl-verify-level 0))
