To the best of my knowledge, the free yahoo mail account doesn't support POP3 so you can't use it with Mail.

As for setting up Gmail with Apple Mail, there is a nice tutorial published by Google itself. Just go to your Gmail settings > POP3 and forwarding > and click on the instructions link. From there select Apple Mail and follow instructions.
