I have the free version of the Yahoo email account. How do I put it in
Outlook like my hotmail account.
 
You have to subscribe to Yahoo! Plus mail servce. Then it will give you a
POP3 access, which you can add to your outlook.

Well, to get Hotmail working you had to PAY for it (unless you account
was created before Sept 27 in which case you will have to PAY for
Hotmail access via Outlook [Express] after March). Your choices for
Yahoo Mail is to PAY for it or use YahooPOPs.

You do NOT have to pay for the yahoo pop service but you do have to subcribe
to one of there mailing lists. Look at the help pages under "cannot send
pop3 mail"

"...have to subcribe to one of there mailing lists...." When you do
subscribe, you'll pay, not cash, but you'll pay.

While users are trying to *reduce* the spam that clogs their mailbox,
you want to *increase* it? With YahooPOPs, you don't pay for YahooPOPs,
you don't pay for a freebie Yahoo mail account, you don't pay to clog
your mailbox with spam and have to pay with your time to eradicate the
crap, and you don't have to pay your time seeing their ads on their
webmail pages.

A search on your string "cannot send POP3 e-mail" turned up no matches
when using the Help link on the signup/login page, but there are matches
when searching for the same string from the Yahoo Mail help page (but
none mentioned the "free access with opt-in spam subscription" that you
mention), so searches are bounded by where you start your search and you
didn't provide that information. Unless you can guarantee that the
search will find the same matches regardless of the bounding (i.e.,
topic) of the search start point, provide a link to the article you
profess exists somewhere in Yahoo's help system.

Be aware that not all Yahoo domains operate the same. They may have
differing policies, requirements, and quotas. What Yahoo.co.uk does for
you in the UK (which still provides free access to POP3 and SMTP
servers) is not what Yahoo.com in the USA provides (which discontinued
POP3 and SMTP access for free a couple years ago).
 
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
Click POP3, and then click Next.
Under User Information, do the following:
In the Your Name box, type your full name the way that
you want it to appear to other people.
In the E-mail Address box, type your e-mail user name,
followed by @yahoo.com.
Under Server Information, do the following:
In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type
pop.mail.yahoo.com.
In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type
smtp.mail.yahoo.net.
Under Logon Information, do the following:
In the User Name box, type your user name. Do not include
@yahoo.com.
In the Password box, type your password.
Select the Remember password check box.
Click More Settings.
On the General tab, under Mail Account, type Yahoo! Mail.
Click the Outgoing Server tab, and then select the My
outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication check box.
Click Use same settings as my incoming mail server, and
then click OK.
Click test account settings, you should have 5 checks
Click Next, and then click Finish.

I use a program called Choicemail which is actually a spam blocker BUT it
has the added benefit of importing mail from Hotmail,Yahoo,MSN and others,
depositing them into your inbox. If you're interested, the URL is: www.
digportal.com. There's a free trial period if you need to test it.
