Re: yahoo accounts

You can access Yahoo POP3 if you pay for the Plus account.

Re: yahoo accounts

YPOPs is safe but not always effective. ;-)

I've successfully added my free Yahoo account to WLM & it added the settings
itself, all I did was add my username/email address & password. Of course it
might not be the same for a US Yahoo account - I'm in the UK.

Re: yahoo accounts

Most countries outside of the US have free POP access to Yahoo.

Now that Hotmail is coming out with free POP access for all
countries, Yahoo will have to offer US residents free POP access
in order to remain competitive.

Well, yes; but ... I never understood why they killed it. I had free
POP3/SMTP access through Spring, 2002. Then they discontinued free access on
the 'yahoo.com' domain.

Even with all the money they get from AT&T (and the other partnered ISPs),
they are still cutting their services to the partners.

Re: yahoo accounts

Correct, UK residents have free POP access. Use these settings:
