The sizes you list in the text don't match the sizes you list in the subject. No way a 24.4 mm seatpost would work.

A 26.4 post probably would work in a 26.6 seat tube - 0.2mm differences are pretty common in stem/bar clamp diameters (25.8 bars in a 26.0 clamp)... depends on your seat clamp and maybe frame material, if you've got one lying around it might be worth trying it but I wouldn't buy the wrong size on purpose.
