Unless you add the user-fetchmail contrib, and then block other servers, you can check any mail account without doing anything special. Just do what their instructions say...

For Hotmail:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hotwayd/
"HotWayd is a POP3-HTTPMail gateway. HTTPMail is an undocumented WebDAV-based protocol used by hotmail. This gateway allows *any* POP3 compatible email client to handle (download, delete, etc) messages on hotmail.com and on msn.com ."

For Yahoo:
No idea, try looking on SourceForge unless Yahoo supports Pop3.

Yes, Hotmail is a bad example...
i try to config Yahoo:
pop.mail.yahoo.com.ar ....ok
When i open the outlook....: "I cant find host pop.mail.yahoo.com.ar"... or something :o)
The same problem with others isp.

Sounds like a DNS issue on your client...see if you can do a nslookup on pop.mail.yahoo.com.ar
