I dont know how to solve your problem, but here is already maked scripts to get mail from Yahoo/Hotmail:

Gotmail is a utility to non-interactively download email from a Hotmail account. It can download messages from all folders, messages from certain folders, or new messages only. There are options to delete downloaded messages or mark them as read. Gotmail can forward messages to other email addresses or save them as local mbox-style mailboxes.

FetchYahoo is a Perl script that downloads mail from a Yahoo! webmail account to a local mail spool, an mbox file, or to procmail. It is meant to replace fetchmail for people using Yahoo! mail since Yahoo!'s POP and email forwarding services are no longer free. It includes all parts and attachments within the email. It can also forward the email to a specified address.
