I'm attempting to have my Yahoo business mail migrate all messages to my Mac mail. I beleive I've set the Preferences in Mail correctly but Mail doesn't want to transfer from Yahoo. Is there a fix for this?

Are you trying to download your Yahoo mail through POP?

And you used these instructions as the basis for Mail's configuration?

Yahoo's instructions actually aren't consistent, so you might not be using the right username.
Yahoo lists all of the following as valid usernames:
you@company.com
you%company.com
(Yahoo! username)
You might want to try them all.
