The gmail account is imap.  It works.  The setup wizard chose pop3 for
the yahoo account.  I pushed the button to check for authentication, and
it didn't respond.  So I tried imap (and changed the server address to
imap.yahoo.com) and it responded quickly.  But the account still didn't
appear in the left panel.

When I push the button to send queued mail and refresh inboxes, it shows
both the yahoo and gmail accounts in the progress window.

I think the evolution version is fairly old -- it's whatever is bundled
with Scientific Linux 6.9.

Is there a work-around?
