Hi there SMTP stands for Simple Mail Tranfer Protocol and is the "protocol" used to send mail out from a server.
POP, POP3, IMAP are incoming protocols used to retreive your email.
Yahoo:
Incoming mail server - pop.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use port 587 or 25)
Hotmail - Select HTTP as the server type and you should be able to choose hotmail as your account and go from there.
