As far as email goes, ZOË only "speak" IMAP and POP3...

So your provider needs to give access to your emails using one of those 
protocols.

If they don't, you are out of luck.

That said, there are some third party tools which will translate 
esoteric formats into more understandable ones. Take a look at 
MrPostman for an example:

http://mrpostman.sourceforge.net/

In your case, you could let MrPostman connect to your Yahoo! and 
Hotmail accounts and then connect ZOË to MrPostman built-in POP3 
server.

Cheers,

R.
