Yahoo do offer SMTP/pop3 yeah, but only as a premium rate service. They
stopped offering it for free a few months back (August I think).

If you want free SMTP/pop3 try http://mail.lycos.co.uk
To use that you have to log in and out of your webmail account once to
activate the access (which it doesn't point out unless you delve into the
helpfiles wondering what it doesn't work, so I thought I'd warn you in
advance)

As for Fetchmail, I have no idea, I've only just started out with Linux and
have no experience of the mailer programs.

Hope this helps anyway.
