Then there's the comment on how they might not have blocked existing users.. Or how they might not block anybody, but simply tell you what the address is! *Goes off to setup yahoo to use POP3* |

| 112461 | 2003-01-09 22:48:00 | >>> Good point C_S, so what is the POP3 addy? pop.mail.yahoo.com smpt.mail.yahoo.com I believe this works for ALL Yahoo domains (yahoo.co.nz, yahoo.co.uk, yahoo.com) Mike. |

| 112462 | 2003-01-09 22:50:00 | It depends, who your ISP is, otherwise, its simply: pop.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com If Mike is still using it, then it must have been only applied to new users, as I cannot get access to it, either that or Yahoo screwed up somewhere :D ;) I ran a check, and my software diagnosed the servers were correct, but the username/password was invalid or not created.. I think they blocked it thats why :) |

| 112464 | 2003-01-09 22:52:00 | Once you've got your yahoo mail account, log in to check your email, click on "Mail Options" at top right, then select "POP access" (or whatever it says - at the bottom of the middle column of options I think). Then you're given the instructions of how to use your email client to download your Yahoo mail. Mike. |

| 112465 | 2003-01-09 22:53:00 | >>> So it works for you eh?? It sure does - my domain is none of the above :) but my pop account is set up as something like pop.mail.yahoo.com Mike. |

| 112468 | 2003-01-09 22:58:00 | Nope! This was in my Inbox on Yahoo after an attempt to retrieve the mail via pop3. 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. |
