    It costs money to get your Yahoo mail using anything other than their web interface. But FWIW the servers are pop.mail.yahoo.com/imap.mail.yahoo.com/smtp.mail.yahoo.com

    Hotmail is using another "protocol" which many email client programs can't work.



    BUT



    You can download a freeware plugin (httpmail plugin 1.35) from Versiontracker which allows you to use MAIL for Hotmail

    I don't use hotmail either



    But my brother does. And he's so freaked out about the inability to download attachement from hotmail using Safari. I then set up Mail with the hotmail plug in to view emails....and works pretty well.
