Setting up Accounts

I've been trying to set up email accounts in Entourage, so that all of my mail can come one place (like Outlook). Is this possible?

I don't know if I'm putting in the wrong information when I try to set up the accounts, but they are not working. I have addresses for Yahoo! and Gmail.

Can you help please?

I'm not quite sure what kind of 'email client' I am. I want to say POP but I'm not sure.

I would like to use Entourage for this purpose and more!

Indeed. You can even setup multiple Exchange accounts (which I believe
is not possile in Outlook)
I don't know if I'm putting in the wrong information when I try to set
up the accounts, but they are not working. I have addresses for Yahoo!
and Gmail.

I suspect Yahoo requires a Plus account for that. Google is fairly
simple and if you go on your gMail page, you should find instructions on
how to enable IMAP for your account, and how to setup Entourage for it
too.
Can you help please?

Take IMAP if you can. IMAP stores the messages on the server, allowing
you to check the e-mails from any computer. POP downlaods the e-mails
locally, deleting them from the server (except for gMail, but they are
cheating by simply not deleting the e-mails as they should be).
