i recommend using fetchyahoo for reading your yahoo-mail on your own 
machine (http://www.freshports.org/mail/fetchyahoo/), you can even choose
a https-transfer with it afair
Then install mutt (/usr/ports/mail/mutt) and make yourself a good
~/.muttrc
Take a look at http://www.mutt.org, there's loads of help and examples for
mutt there
