Some services may require a subscription for this type of access. I don't know the procedure but for using thunderbird with yahoo you have to spend bucks.

Here is how:

• Install YPOPs! and make sure it is running.
• Select Tools | Account Settings... from the menu in Mozilla Thunderbird.
• Click Add Account....
• Make sure Email account is selected.
• Click Continue.
• Enter your name under Your Name:.
• Type your Yahoo! Mail address ("example@yahoo.com", for example) under Email Address:.
• Click Continue.
• Make sure POP is selected under Select the type of incoming server you are using..
• Type "localhost" under Incoming Server:.
  o If you use Windows Vista or run into troubles later, try using "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost".
• Click Continue.
• Enter your Yahoo! Mail user name (e.g. "example") under Incoming User Name:.
  
  o Mozilla Thunderbird should already have entered that for you.
• Click Continue.
• Type a name for your new Yahoo! Mail account under Account Name: (e.g. "Yahoo! Mail").
• Click Continue.
• Now click Done.

To make sure we can send mail in addition to receiving it (and optionally have a copy of all send messages stored in Yahoo! Mail's online Sent folder):

• Highlight Outgoing Server (SMTP) in the list of account on the left.
• Click Add....
• Type "localhost" under Server Name:.
  o If you use Windows Vista or run into troubles later, again try using "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost".
• Make sure Use name and password is checked.
• Type your Yahoo! Mail user name under User Name:.
• Click OK.
• Highlight the Yahoo! Mail account we created before.
• Under Outgoing Server (SMTP):, make sure localhost is selected.
• Click OK.
