Here is the Yahoo mail settings

• Yahoo! Mail SMTP server address: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
• Yahoo! Mail SMTP user name: Your full Yahoo! Mail email address (including "@yahoo.com")
• Yahoo! Mail SMTP password: Your Yahoo! Mail password
• Yahoo! Mail SMTP port: 465
• Yahoo! Mail SMTP TLS/SSL required: yes

Here is a sample code to send email using yahoo mail settings

SmtpClient emailClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.mail.yahoo.com");
System.Net.NetworkCredential SMTPUserInfo = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("xyz@yahoo.com","*******"); 
emailClient.EnableSsl = true;
emailClient.Credentials = SMTPUserInfo;
emailClient.Port = 465;

MailMessage message = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("xyz@gmail.com", "someone@something.something", "fire!!", "Call up 911 and inform my house is on fire and my phone too");
emailClient.Send(message);

You need to have smtp/pop access to yahoo mail in order to send the mail using yahoo account. The free account offered by yahoo does not have that access. You might have to opt for yahoo mail pro.

For sending a mail using SMTP, all you need is username and password of an smtp account. You will use the pass this credentials and send the mail with classes system.net.mail namespace.
