Yahoo offers POP3 access only to its paid customers, ie 'Yahoo! Mail Plus' 
users.

>Send/Receive mails i got error as "Error While

>unknown reason"

Most probably because you Win2K admin must have blocked port 53 (DNS) in the
firewall.

Most proxy servers that I know of don't work with POP & SMTP. I use squid myself
and it doesn't.
