Depending on what class of service you are getting with your Yahoo mail, 
 you might be able to read it with a pop3 client.

SBC DSL customers (of which I am one) can use Yahoo's webmail or their 
own pop3 email client (not sure about imap though).

I think you can also access hotmail using outlook express, but you still 
get the ad's delivered.
