You can use Outlook Express' feature for retrieving mail from a POP3-
source.  The drawback is that your Yahoo!Mail-account *has to* be 
signed up for "Yahoo! Delivers", for you to be able to do that.  
There is excellent information about this on the help-pages of Yahoo!
Mail.  

As for sending mail, I am not familiar with Outlook Express (I am 
abrely familiar with the Norwegian edition of Outlook, and I am 
presuming that you do not know Norwegian), so I do not know of a way 
to mail from Outlook Express and make it look as if you were doing it 
through Yahoo!Mail.  I presume it can be done, but I know not how.  
One possibility is of course to write the emails while offline, and 
then go online to Yahoo! to post them.  

Another is to register the address used with Outlook Express as an 
alternate posting-address for for your Yahoo!Groups-account (you can 
do that, you can have up to five alternate posting-addresses).  I do 
not, however, know which email-address which will show up then on 
Yahoo!Groups.

A third suggestion:  Have you considered going to digest-mode?  You 
then only get three or four mails per day (even on HPFGU), and you 
can open them in separate windows, then go offline while reading 
them.  It's dead useful!

Hope this helps
