Please contact Yahoo or AOL for more information. I don't believe AOL
supports POP3, and POP3 access is only available to Yahoo pay users.
However, there are enough freeware (add-on utility) on the Internet that
would allow you to retrieve Yahoo and AOL mails into your favorite
e-mail client.

How are you configuring them? AOL uses IMAP and Yahoo needs a paid account.
Are you getting any send or receive errors?
