SOCKS5 or http proxy for Yahoo Mail?

Which you need really depends on your greater use-case. In general Socks are more "secure" while HTTP is more geared towards browsing.
 
I think VPN and HTTP is the way to go.
 
Does anyone know which one is better?
For Yahoo Mail, using an HTTP proxy would generally be more compatible and reliable compared to a SOCKS5 proxy. HTTP proxies are specifically designed for web traffic, which goes well with the requirements of Yahoo Mail.
 
Usually Private proxies from major vendors support both HTTP/HTTPs and Socks5 protocols.

So that, Using yahoo mail via web using HTTPs protocol

And Socks5 for Socket based email client.
