Yahoo! Mail is one of the most popular solutions for web based email. It’s easy to see why, it’s got a decent spam filter, lots of storage space, and it’s been around forever. But to get access to POP and forwarding, you need to upgrade to Yahoo Plus, currently about $20 a year.
Fortunately, there’s a way to get your Yahoo email on your BlackBerry without upgrading to Yahoo Plus. And if you’ve upgraded to BlackBerry Internet Service 2.0, it’s extremely easy to set up. Now you can get your Yahoo Mail sent directly to your BlackBerry from your free account.
Once you have upgraded to BIS 2.0, you can link to your free Yahoo Mail account either by using the BlackBerry device or by using the web page for your BIS. You can find a list of websites here for configuring your account directly from your PC.
From your BlackBerry, there should be an icon called “Personal Email SetUp”. Launch that application and a web page will appear where you can log in to your BIS account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one right from your BlackBerry.
Personal Email SetUp
Logging in to Manage BIS Account
Once you have logged in, select the E-mail Accounts link. This will take you to a list of your existing accounts. Click the link to add a new account, and then enter in your Yahoo Mail email address and password.
Adding New Email Account
If successful, when you navigate back to your home screen, a new icon will appear for each email account that you set up. Congratulations, you have now linked your free Yahoo Mail account with your BlackBerry! This same process can also be used for Gmail accounts as well.
In my tests, this integration was very smooth. I am notified almost instantly on my BlackBerry when a new message comes in to my Yahoo Mail account. When I delete an email on the BlackBerry, it gives me the option of deleting only on the handheld, or both the handheld and the Yahoo Mail account. And because BlackBerry Internet Service v2.0 offers direct access to integrated accounts, I don’t have to worry about exceeding any BIS web storage limitations. I’m only limited by the capacity of my Yahoo Mail account.

So I installed this app and it works great. The biggest issue I'm trying to solve now is that all of my personal emails to my yahoo account are going both in my yahoo mailbox AS WELL AS my primary, corporate mail box. So my corporate in box gets both my work emails and my yahoo mails. I'd like to keep these seperate - any ideas how to do this? I have the Tour by the way, if that matters.

By default all emails will go to the messaging icon then you will also have separate icons for your different emails you can't stop them going to the messages icon. You could hide the messages icon and then just use the separate icons created for each email to create a sense of separation.

Have two yahoo accounts. Want two icons for these accounts on my main screen, but they are all going to the one message folder.
How can I fix that? Have the Curve 8530

I used to have the Curve 3800 and upgraded to the bold 9700..
On the Curve I had no problems with the Yahoo Mail app. It came to the phone like it did on the computer all the old emails where there I could move emails to different folders. everything was awesome
But on the Bold, I cant get anything but the new email that is sent to me and I cant move them to different folders like before
any ideas???

I second this call for help. My businesses are run entirely off of the emails nested within my Yahoo home account - I have three webpages, domains and their associated email accounts. On my Curve 8330 or whatever - no problems. Had access to all history, and I accessed the main account through the browser. This "new" phone - is shite. ZERO HISTORY on my business email accounts. HELP or it's going back - TOMORROW!!
