I don't think yahoo supports POP3 access. Maybe yahoo india does support. For using POP mails you should get POP and SMTP server addresses from your ISP first.
You can use gmail, if you like, with your POP account, it is given in settings on how to set that up with OE.

Yahoo has stopped providing free POP3 and SMTP services. Thats is why these tools have come up. So what readermaniax said may not work if you are using a free account.
