Server yahoo with @yahoo.fr

[Guillaume Pascal]

Binary package hint: evolution

When configured by default with a @yahoo.fr adress, it configures the server the pop3.yahoo.com while the server is valid pop.mail.yahoo.fr

Same problem with smtp, it's configure with smtp.yahoo.com and the server it's smtp.mail.yahoo.fr

Extract of yahoo help:
Serveur de courrier entrant : pop.mail.yahoo.fr
Serveur de courrier sortant : smtp.mail.yahoo.fr

the MX records are the same (using dig), so probably is more like a cosmetic issue, do you have any problems while sending/receiving emails? like wrong username, etc ?

With the default server setting does not work (no sending/receiving)
I change the parameter of the server by using the yahoo works well
