Does anyone know what are the incoming and outgoing servers for yahoo mail?

Using Yahoo.com e-mail addresses in Outlook e-mail clients?

• Hello, Does anyone 'out there' know if it is possible for me to use my 'yahooID'@yahoo.com e-mail address from within Outlook 2003 on either my Vista Home Premium 'living room' pc or my XP Home Ed' sp2 laptop pc or even both pc's? In other words, are these e-mail addresses/accounts 'pop3' or IMAP e-mail accounts, which should work in Outlook on a desktop pc or laptop pc using ethernet, usb or wireless connection to your wireless or wired modem or modem/router combined or non combined device(s) which in turn are connecting to the internet via any ISP (in my case AOL) whose incoming/outgoing mail servers can cope with pop3, IMAP etc, e-mail accounts, rather than having to use a 'cell'/mobile phone from the same company that you get your e-mail from, as a modem to connect to the internet or getting that same e-mail sent direct to the 'cell/mobile phone handset? or are they website ONLY e-mail accounts? which will likely mean the answer to the first question is NO?
