I tried this method with and without "plus" and met with zero success, after some googling, it appears that you need to enable POP from your Yahoo email account for this to work in Evolution.

From your email account, go to Options => Mail Options and select POP & Forwarding. Click the Allow Your Yahoo! Mail to be POPed option and save your changes. Presto, now you can see all your mails inside Evolution
