Is it possible to use my Yahoo account in E-mail programs like Outlook Express? - Alexandra

Best Answer: i dont think so, sorry - NBGirl

Yes and NO!! YPOPs! is an application that provides POP3 access to Yahoo! Mail. It is available o­n the Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac platforms. Yahoo! Mail disabled free access to its POP3 service o­n 24th April, 2002. 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. How do we do it you ask? Well, this application is more like a gateway. It provides a POP3 server interface at o­ne end to talk to email clients and an HTTP client (browser) interface at the other which allows it to talk to Yahoo! You can go to their web-sight here.. http://www.ypopsemail.com/ YPOPs! was inspired by a Perl script called FetchYahoo written by Ravi Ramkissoon. - ussgalileo

Yup, just go into your yahoo options and find your insource address and outsource address, POPs account something or other (I did it on a MAC so the instructions would be different) Ultimately, have your set-up open and your yahoo mail options window open and you're good to go I didn't have to pay for it though... - Little Miss Know it All ;)

no,until you are connected to the server. - surjit1754

The service you are looking for is called POP access (Post Office Protocol). Yes it is available with Yahoo but its not free. Another way of letting you use Outlook with Yahoo would be forward your mails on Yahoo to some other server that allows pop access (like your official email server), but that is a paid service too. - ngt_765

yes but for reasons unknown you have to pay for that convenience. you need certain numbers and addresses to plug into outlook that yahoo will only provide after you've paid for that service. - Michael G

Yup! Just set it up like you would any email. - I ♥ Mike
