My not be able to use Pegasus Mail directly with either of these web mail systems.  Hotmail does not do plain POP3/IMAP4, the free yahoo does not either.  You might want to try MrPostman.

MrPostman is a java program that allows you to access Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and other
webmail services directly from your favorite mail client. 

It converts the web pages of your favorite webmail provider to e-mails and provides the
standard POP interface to your mail client (e.g. Outlook Express, Netscape or Mozilla Mail,
Thunderbird, Pegasus Mail). 

MrPostman is Free Software, released under the terms of the GNU Public License.

Currently supported webmail providers:

    * Hotmail
    * mail.com
    * Yahoo
    * gmail (Google mail)
    * indiatimes.com
    * juno
    * rediffmail
    * Gossamer mail
    * Outlook Web Access (Exchange 5.5)
    * Outlook Web Access 2003

Pegasus Mail uses POP3 or IMAP for mail. Yahoo and Hotmail are webmail programs, they do not support those protocols by default.Although there are 3rd party programs to work with those webmail programs.

I suggest to use a (free) POP3 account.
