I don't use Yahoo or Gmail, but I am pretty sure I understand what you are saying. The problem seems to be you have set up the yahoo and gmail pop3 settings in your desktop outlook rather then on your axim. By setting them up on the Axim you will be able to send and recive email form your axim and not have to use your desktop outlook. The "account" on your Axim called Outlook EMail is for doing what you are currently doing. Writing/receiving/sending email through your desktop outlook.
To set up your Axim for email go messaging->accounts->New account and follow the directions using the same POP3 settings you used in outlook or outlook express on your desktop. If you don't know them you can look under "Tools->EMail accounts" in outlook and "Tools->Accounts" in outlook express. Because I don't use Yahoo or Gmail I can't give you the step by step. But below are some general instructions for setting up email on the Axim. Just replace the POP3 info with your own info for gmail. As you already know Yahoo requires a preimum service to get the POP3 settings so I you will not be able to use the axim with yahoo unless you go through internet explorer.
Good Luck and just ask if you get stuck somewhere.

PS - If you get this to work and don't want to use them with your desktop outlook anymore you can delete them from there and only use you Axim. FYI
Start>Messaging>Accounts>New Account
Page 1/4 ~ E-mail Address
This is easy, enter your email address
Next....
Page 2/4 ~ User information
The "your name" part is what ever you want. It has no bearing on the settings.
User name is the part of your email before the @ sign (ie USERNAME@<isp>.com)
Password is your email password
Check the box for Save Password
Next....
Page 3/4 ~ Account information
Account type is POP3
Account Name is what ever you want it to be. If you set up more then one this can be very helpfull. I just used my username, same as the last page.
next....
Page 4/4 ~ Server information
This is where it can be a little different for some people. 99% of the time it is MAIL.<ISP>.COM, From looking at the Comcast site it appears they use MAIL.COMCAST.NET for the incomming and SMTP.COMCAST.NET for the out going. You can try these. But this is one of the areas you might have to tinker with. For example changing both to MAIL.COMCAST.NET
The domain you can just leave blank.
Options.....
Options page 1/3
I would not check this box for checking for messages every X# of minutes. If you are not online you will get an error message every X# of minutes.
Next....
Options Page 2/3
Here I checked the box for "Outgoing mail requiers authentication" as well as "Use separate settings"
Outgoing Settings....
Outgoing server settings
For username here I had to use my entire email address. This was very different then the rest of the set up.
Enter your password
Leave the domain blank
Check the box for save password
Check the box for "Require SSL for outgoing mail
Click OK in the upper right corner
Next....
Options page 3/3
In order to save space I would select "Get message headers only"
Check the box marked include and select 2K
Finish....
