Nope. See http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=21288 (Yes, it says your provider has to have POP access, but it works for me with my Yahoo account and so did GMX.

Whoa. This sounded really weird - is Gmail scraping Yahoo? Or do they have a private deal to get POP access? Why would Yahoo do that? So I began to try it myself - but when I saw that it was clearly a POP setup, right before handing over my Yahoo password to Gmail, I thought that I'd better try POP myself first. So I fired up getmail, and voilą! Vanilla POP access! Yahoo still claims that you only get POP access if you sign up for Mail Plus: > Do I have to sign up for Yahoo!

What tool are you trying to POP with? What port, etc.?
