Yahoo! India Mail provides Pop access for free. Atleast to those who had signed up a long time back!!

[Pathik]

Just migrate to the beta version of Yahoo and you will get a free POP3 access

To configure your account on computer-


POP Access Settings


In order to read your Yahoo! Mail an external email client (such as Eudora, Outlook, Netscape, etc.), you will need to configure the Incoming (POP) and Outgoing (SMTP) server settings so that it can send and receive messages from your Yahoo! Mail account. Generally, you can find these settings under the Tools or Preferences menus for your particular email program.
Important: Do not delete your incoming mail settings
If you are already receiving mail from another mail server (such as incoming mail to your address at your ISP), you will need to add a new POP account. Sometimes this is called a new "profile," sometimes a new "personality," depending on your email client. If your email client only allows you to receive mail from one POP server at a time, make sure you write down your current settings before you replace them with Yahoo! Mail settings so that you can change them back if you need to. Below you will find the server settings for accessing your Yahoo! Mail.
Server Settings
Incoming Mail Server (POP3):
pop.mail.yahoo.co.in
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.in
using SMTP port 587 [What's this?]
Account Name/Username:
Your user name
Email address:
Your complete E-Mail address
Password:
Your Yahoo! Mail password
We've given directions below for configuring POP access to Yahoo! Mail for selected email clients. Your client may not be on this list, and server settings vary from client to client. Remember, even after you configure your mail client to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages, you can always log in to your Yahoo! Mail account to send and receive as well.
