It should be pop.btinternet.com, at least it was for me when I used them,
and you appear not to have entered your password correctly - it's case
sensitive.

I can collect my Yahoo mail (should I chose to do so)
via OE, because mine is yahoo.co.uk :-

While the official line from Yahoo for US- and Canada-based
accounts is that you can't, there is an unsupported (by Yahoo...sshh!)
alternative:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/yahoopops/

If your Yahoo account is based in another country (e.g.,
http://uk.yahoo.com/, http://au.yahoo.com/), POP Access in a Mail Client
such as OE is still provided without charge. But you have to go to your
account on the web and choose Mail Options/Pop Access and Forwarding.

The moral being if you want a free pop access a/c from Yahoo, sign up
for a UK one!
