Yahoo removed POP3 / SMTP access to their free accounts in 2002. This sourceforge program provides the equivalent of POP3 and SMTP email access to free Yahoo accounts by simulating a web browser to Yahoo and a POP3 server to your POP3 email client http://yahoopops.sourceforge.net/ They say This application emulates a POP3 server and enables popular email clients like Outlook, Netscape, Eudora, Mozilla, etc., to download email from Yahoo! accounts. We do not go against the license agreements of Yahoo! Mail. This application is completely legitimate and well within the realms of legal software. _____________________ Note that although this program is legal and arguably ethical Yahoo would probably become 'annoyed' if all their clients used such programs. An easier solution is to change to a free email service with a better web interface, POP3 access and greater storage capacity :-).
