POP3 & SMTP
"Sam" wrote: Hi Everyone, I am currently using Outlook 2000 as my default mail application. My question is: Is there some way I can get the names of the POP3 & SMTP Mail Servers from Yahoo and Hotmail so that I can setup my Outlook server information to pull my emails from these servers into my Outlook? I currently run this scenario with another email provider whose POP3 & SMTP server address I know, eg. pop.whatever.com. Kind regards Sam |

If they permit POP3 access, then they will publish the server names in the help section of their web sites. On Yahoo for example, it appears that you have to subscribe to their 'Mail Plus' service for POP3 privileges. I don't know about Hotmail. I use Gmail and they have no special requirements. A_C |
POP3 & SMTP
I know these were posted a few months ago, but as of a couple of months prior
to THIS post, yahoo accounts can be "popped" without having to subscribe to the premium service, and without having to install third party software, even though yahoo still says it doesn't do it in some parts of their website. Here's what to do: make sure you're using mail beta, go to options and there's a section for mail in the left-hand pane. Click here and there will be a list of mail options, including POP access and forwarding. Click on this, then select the option to allow POP access and save. Now when you run Outlook or another client just set up a new email account and it should autodetect the server settings. If it doesn't contact Yahoo customer support and they should give you alternative ports if they clash with your existing email account (sometimes it helps to change the smtp from 25 to 587). There are also instructions on the yahoo site somewhere (I can't remember where though :)) This might be old news, but I thought I would have to upgrade to mail plus to pop the account until I tried it. There's also a program that configures all your pop accounts, called FreePOPS, but it takes some mucking around to get it going.

When you click "POP & Forwarding" you get the message Upgrade to Mail Plus so you can o download your Yahoo! Mail in an email client such as Outlook o forward your Yahoo!
