Trying to get Hotmail and Yahoo email on Palm Tungsten C

Question

Was very excited when I got this palm from ebay and read thru the instruction manual and have done a lot of searching but can't find the answer to this:  How do I get my hotmail and yahoo email to show up on my Tungsten C thru versamail. 
For Hotmail Under Account Set up I have
Account Name:  Hotmail
Mail Service:  Other
Protocol: POP
synchronize only accounts unchecked
User name my email address w/@hotmail.com
Password:  Entered and it says Assigned
Email address:  my email address
Incoming mail Server: pop3.live.com
outgoing mail server:  smpt.live.com
Then it says "your hotmail account is completed...."
incoming mail options:
port number 995
use secure connection (SSL) checked
maximum message size 5KB
Advanced outgoing options:
Port Number: 25
my server requires authentication (ESMTP) checked
user name:  my email address w/ @hotmail.com
and password entered and assigned
When I hit done and click get mail it says "connecting to mail server" then times out after about 30 seconds. 
Yahoo settings:
Account Name Yahoo
Mail service Yahoo (already in the Palm as a choice)
Protocol:  Pop
sync only account : unchecked
username: my username w/out @yahoo.com
password: entered and assigned
Email address: autfilled
incoming mail surver: pop.mail.yahoo.com
outgoing mail server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming Mail Options:
Port Number: 110
User secure connection (ssl) unchecked
Max msg size 5 KB
Advanced Outgoing Options:
Port Number 25
My server requires authentication (ESMTP): checked
User name: my user name
Password: entered and says assigned
When I click get mail it says "ERR[sys/perm] pop not allowed for user.
I have no clue what I'm doing wrong or if its even possible but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I just set up my Gmail account on my TX using Versamail, and it works seamlessly.  In the setup screen, US gmail is a service option to select, which then automatically prefills all of the server and security settings shown below.  The version of Versamail on your Tungsten C is older so it might not have all these options, but here are the settings:
Account name: Gmail
Protocol: Pop
Username: your gmail username (just the name, not the @gmail.com)
Password: your gmail password
email address: [email protected]
incoming mail server: pop.gmail.com
outgoing mail server: smtp.gmail.com
incoming server settings:
Port number 995
Use Secure Connection (SSL): check
Use Authentication (APOP): uncheck
outgoing server settings:
port number: 25
Use Secure Connection (SSL): check
Use Authentication (ESMTP): check
username: [email protected]
password: your gmail password
Those are all of the available settings in Versamail on the TX, which is Versamail version 3.1C
Hope this helps.  If it doesn't work, you could see if SnapperMail will work.  It's a third-party email app which is very robust and has a free trial period before you buy.  Short of that, you might just have to upgrade to a newer device.
