If I got your problem right-

Free yahoo and msn accounts have no POP /SMTP access and so you cannot configure them. Gmail has it . Get a free account at hotpop.com for free pop up access and they give you full step to step details on how to configure.
If you want to stick to your free yahoo account, try "yahoo!pops" a client which may help you. Google about it and read its faq.

free yahoo has Pop 3 access, U just have to configure yahoo to provide u ads or at your alternate ID, so that U can get ads in your mail client

taken from my other account

Since U know accessing Yahoo from Outlook isn't free but if U agree to the statement, that they will allow U to access it if U R ready to accept Ad mails from Yahoo, I was not able to access it from outlook with the new ID gx_saurav, but then I changed & agreed & now I can, here is how

1) Go to account info in your mail, there go to edit your Personal Info , Like Education, occupation etc, the 1st "Edit" button

2) There U will see a drop down menu that will be like "promotional mail to somehwre" etc, enable it & enter where U want Yahoo to send it too, write
your mail id, by which U R opened rite now, now click on finish & finish again, now Configure Outlook to access it & U will be able to access mails for free

Now here is what U have acepted, Yahoo will send U ad mails from their sponcers to your given mail ID, in other words controlled SPAM, the preference depends on what U have provided as your preference, Computer, health, romance etc This is in fact controlled SPAM, & I remember, with the old ID, I was unable to access Yahoo from Outlook if I disabled this function, same is going there,

Here is a trick, U can also provide that the mails are sended to ypur alternate Mail ID, which U can make anywhre for waste & send the SPAM there, check ones in every few days like 15 etc & U won't get spam in your mail ID but in that mail ID which U never use or use for porn

to configure outlook is a tedius taks, I will soon upload a guide

Hmm.. As far as I remember, ALL MSN accounts have free POP3 access, BUT only with Outloook/ Outlook Express.. I have used them.. Many of my friends are suing them too... I dont remmber the settings.. but i guess that setup wizard is quite easy and self explanatory..

Coming o Yahoo, use Yahoopops.. or Sign-up for an account with Yahoo! Australia (.com.au).. ou get an account with free POP3 access..

To access Yahoo! using outlook,use YahooPOPs.Get it from yahoopops.sourceforge.net.
Use Hotmail Popper to access your Hotmail account from outlook.
