Wouldn't Yahoo, Ymail and Rocketmail be the best place to find an answer 
to that question?

For Yahoo the answer is yes, and no. Yahoo provide IMAP access but try 
and restrict it to mobile devices that won't run their Zimbra client. 
You'll have to make your MUA spoof a mobile device id - and you'll be on 
a treadmill...

imap.mail.yahoo.com; SSL – port 993

For the others you're going have to do the work yourself, or get someone 
else to do if for you. (sigh)
