I think you now have to pay to access Yahoo mail throw POP. (I still can for free :p)
But have a look under options in Yahoo mail.

147070 2003-05-24 07:12:00 Only @yahoo.co.nz and @yahoo.com.au addresses can POP their account if I recall correctly.

@yahoo.com addresses you need to pay for the feature, however it used to be available for free.

147071 2003-05-24 07:13:00 Might be a sad story .

If your Yahoo account was with Yahoo . com, then trying to access it via POP3 will result in this little measage in your mailbox:

You recently attempted to retrieve your Yahoo! Mail messages using a POP3 client such as Outlook Express . Yahoo! Mail no longer provides free POP3 Access or Auto Mail Forwarding to Yahoo! Delivers subscribers .

If you would like to continue using Mail Forwarding or POP3 Access, please sign up for our improved package that allows you to:

Use Outlook, Eudora, or another POP3 client to access and manage your Yahoo! Mail .
Automatically forward your Yahoo! Mail to another email account -- even another Yahoo! address .
Send larger attachments, now up to 5MB instead of the free 1 . 5MB limit .
Send email without the Yahoo! promotional text at the bottom .

If its with Yahoo . com . nz or . au look under "mail options" on the Yahoo webmail acces site for pop3 settings .

Even then its probably only a matter of time .

Beetle if you are reading this then that is why you cant get POP Mail because you have a .com e-mail address.
