I downloaded an addin that allowed me to access my Hotmail account in Outlook
2007. How do I get it to access Yahoo or Google mail in the same Outlook the
same way Hotmail comes in?

Gmail supports the POP3 or IMAP protocol. If your goal is to keep messages
on the server so you can read them via your favorite web browser, configure
you Gmail account to allow IMAP access. Google's help page on this is:

neo supplied the gmail answer. The answer for Yahoo is that you cannot use
Outlook to access Yahoo if it is a free yahoo.com account. Yahoo does not
allow it. If you have a paid Yahoo account, you'll need to use a POP account
and it can't work like Hotmail.
