I had 3 email accounts on Yahoo...
When they decided to stop offering SMTP/POP3 service for free, two of my
accounts were affected, but one is still working.
I don't know why, because I haven't paid anything, but the oldest one
keeps working perfectly.

As far as fetchmail is concerned, I can't help very much.
Make sure you set the login to the POP3 server properly (you have to
provide UserID and password).

Ciao.. Ivan
