If it's a paid-for yahoo.com account then yes. Otherwise you will need
something like YPOPS. Google it.

Pay $29 (or whatever they charge now) for an account and you can.

Why do you have to pay for it [1], wheras we in Germany (perhaps in
other countries as well) get POP3 access for free [2]?

Yahoo wanted to charge everyone and experimented with yahoo.com and
yahoo.ca. Then GMail came out so the experiment stayed with those two
and, of course, people like Diane foolishly ponied up the cash.

I am not straight on this. If you do not pay, what do you need to do to run
a Yahoo account on Outlook

Go to your Yahoo account on the web and you will find instructions there
and, if I recall correctly, you have to activate POP3 on the web
interface before you can pull them into Outlook as a part of the process.

I didn't pony up anything - I don't even use a yahoo account.

It's not necessarily foolish (and it's only $20/yr, not 30) - the fee is
worth it for some for the other features that come with the paid acct. You
also need to consider economy of scale - there are a lot more yahoo.com
addresses than yahoo.de.

Some of the tools listed at

mail in via a pop proxy service.
