There are little utilities than will download your Yahoo, Google or Hotmail emails locally, then you cacn use any email program and configure it as a POP server on your own local machine (localhost). But the downside of many of these utilities is that the way they work is parse the Yahoo Mail, Google and Hotmail web site in order to retrieve the emails. That kinda sucks because it Opens an invisible IE page when it does so, and I've had problems when playing full screen games and it wouold kick me off the game whenever my email was checked. A little annoying.
