Yahoo! mail requires a paid account to download and use through Outlook.
Look on their page and query help files there.

Post Office Protocol. An old client protocol for receiving email from your
email server.

Outlook can use POP to retrieve email from a POP Server. This is very
common.

gmail can act as a POP server and Outlook can download messages from your
mailbox there. It is still free as of right now.

And what is this POP?
