Is your Yahoo account one of the free US-based ones? If so, it doesn't
have POP access, only web (HTTP) access.
For $19.99 per year Yahoo will upgrade your account to Mail Plus,
which does have POP access: http://mailplus.mail.yahoo.com

Likewise, free Hotmail accounts have no POP access. However, if you
upgrade Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail, it enables access:
http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

If you pay for Internet access, your ISP will give you a free email address
that has POP access. You can also get a free POP email account from
Gmail.
