Yahoo POP3 email findings

[anniebluesky]

I did some looking around, and found out 2 things about Yahoo email. There are 2 ways to get the POP3 access....free.

1. If you open up a new Yahoo account with a domain other than the USA (I have only tried Australia, and United Kingdom) the option to use free email forwarding or POP3 is available. Plus you have a 6.0MB mailbox. Weird... I have searched off and on for a good free POP3/forwarding email account since Yahoo decided to play with our emotions awhile back. Maybe this is just a backdoor approach.
2. Try this program  http://yahoopops.sourceforge.net


PS/ I had posted this on the end of a different topic, but thought it should be on it's own. Hope this is the correct forum for email topics.

Not really the right section, but nevertheless. You are right. I.e. the .de Domain is giving free popaccess. So I had to swap as well. Poor and weird.

There certainly have been worse things posted here :). I use several real and certified pop3 accounts. Maybe Yahoo is still trying to drum up business down under :).

HI Annie! I moved this from the NX forum to the General forum because I think it might interest a large number of people. Not just NX users . . . hope that's OK.

GREAT TOPIC! ;)
