Thank you all very much for the replies. At least now I have something to go

please
explain how I can set this up. Thanks much.

I set the incoming mail server to pop.mail.yahoo.co.jp and the outgoing
mail server to smtp.mail.yahoo.co.jp.

Or, alternatively, incoming to pop.pacbell.yahoo.com and outgoing to
smtp.pacbell.yahoo.com.

The first case is for free Yahoo! mail in Japan, the second case is the
authorized SBC DSL mail servers; but you have to have an SBC DSL account.

Or, for $19.99 per year, you sign up for Yahoo! Mail Plus, and use
pop.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com

I believe that you can sign up for free Yahoo! email on United Kingdom
servers, even from the U.S. I am certainly not in Japan, yet using their
Yahoo! servers.

Aside from that, you have to work it like you would for MSN Hotmail; find
a
Web-to-POP3 proxy that will access http://mail.yahoo.com as a browser,
then
allow a POP3 client to have access to the downloaded email.

Google is your friend:

Or, if you already know the magic word:
