1267389 2012-04-16 06:53:00 Would it be possible to get my hotmail emails via an email client such as Thunderbird? Is it any different to using Yahoo? QW. (15883)
1267390 2012-04-16 07:05:00 I get my Yahoo mail forwarded to my Orcon mail address and receive it through Outlook that way. I did that by signing into my Yahoo mail account and going to Mail Options then POP and forwarding. Bobh (5192)
1267391 2012-04-16 08:23:00 yes you can get both hotmail and yahoo mail sent to clients such as Thunderbird.

Yahoo:
* Install YPOPs! and make sure it is running.
* Select Tools | Account Settings... from the menu in Mozilla Thunderbird.
* Click Add Account....
* Make sure Email account is selected.
* Click Continue.
* Enter your name under Your Name:.
* Type your Yahoo! Mail address ("example@yahoo.com", for example) under Email Address:.
* Click Continue.
* Make sure POP is selected under Select the type of incoming server you are using..
* Type "localhost" under Incoming Server (If you use Windows Vista or run into troubles later, try using "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost").

* Click Continue.
* Enter your Yahoo! Mail user name (e.g. "example") under Incoming User Name (Mozilla Thunderbird should already have entered that for you).
* Click Continue.
* Type a name for your new Yahoo! Mail account under Account Name: (e.g. "Yahoo! Mail").
* Click Continue.

To make sure you can send mail in addition to receiving it (and optionally have a copy of all send messages stored in Yahoo! Mail's online Sent folder):

* Highlight Outgoing Server (SMTP) in the list of account on the left.
* Click Add....

* Enter your complete Windows Live Hotmail address (including "@hotmail.com", "@live.com", etc.) under Incoming User Name:.
* Type your complete Windows Live Hotmail address under Outgoing User Name: as well.
* Click Continue.
