I need to know what server yahoo uses to store e-mail so I can receive e-mail from craigslist. It is either POP3 or IMAP. Thank you.

No, pop3 and imap are mail protocols, not types of servers.

You could argue that the OS the server runs might be its type for storage, such as Linux, Windows, MacOS. Most people would argue that the hardware manufacturer was the type for storage (Dell, Apple, HP, etc).

I really doubt that anyone would argue that its type was a protocol. It probably supports imap, pop, smtp, http and any number of other protocols.

For yahoo mail you need upgrade to yahoo mail plus (@ $19.99 per year).to get the full pop3 service for access to Outlook,Incredimail, Thunderbird and others.
For more info on setting up your pop3 account see the link below.
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/classic/mailplus/pop/pop-35.html

* Incoming Mail Server (POP3): plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
Use SSL, port: 995
* Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication.

There is a free program called "YPOPS" it's not approved by yahoo and is not fully compatible some users can get it to work but most can't.

If you have “yahoo.co.uk” address some users can get free pop forwarding see below.
Click “options” (top right) on your mail page>mail options>pop and forwarding>
Set up or edit pop & forwarding>type in the address you want to forward to and
click save.
* Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Use SSL, port: 995
* Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smpt.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Use SSL, port: 465.

Note: In order to be able to send emails from outlook and others through/to yahoo (pop3) you need to pay for a yahoo mail plus account. @ £11.99 per year.
