Yahoo pop3 server? Second hotmail account?
The information about POP access is in the Help system of Yahoo (and varies from country to country). Unless you have a yahoo.co.uk address, you have to pay for Yahoo Plus to get POP access. You also have to pay for Hotmail POP access, I believe, now even if you are using Outlook Express. The details will, again, be in the Help system.

Reply:Yahoo mail except in a few places no longer provides a free POP3 server access. This is a paid service under Yahoo Plus.... BUT......





You CAN use other software to create POP3 access for Yahoo and other services:





The FREE option is:

A inexpensive paid option is:

I've used the both.





Since I only need Yahoo now the Freepops works great to pull mail into Hamster (a local mail/news server software, free).





Just a note you must use the OLD STANDARD inteface on your Yahoo account, NOT THE BETA INTERFACE! Use the "Switch Back" option if you have enabled it.
