Help with YahooMail

[indri]

Is there any quickish inexpensive way of downloading my Yahoo Mail onto my machine? I'll be reaching my inbox limit soon.

Didn't think so.

Unless you have a paid account with Yahoo, they don't give you POP access. You need POP access to download.

Damn. That's what I feared.

Thanks.

I and everyone else I know has POP3 access and we certainly don't pay. I'm pretty sure that it even downloads ones I've already read online. Although I so rarely read online I couldn't swear to it.

pop.mail.yahoo.com
and
smtp.mail.yahoo.com

port 110

There is doubtless a FAQ somewhere that will tell you more.

Heartening and excellent news. I shall investigate.

Thanks!

Sadly, it looks like this service is no longer free although it may have been for subscribers at an earlier date.

Looks like I will just have to pony up the bucks or do something very tedious by hand.
