send and receive email through yahoo and hotmail?

Please reply in group.

(note you have to enable pop3 in the Yahoo settings first)

Five seconds googling, hope it works.

And, I am pretty sure pop3 in Yahoo requires a Yahoo Plus account
which is a paid account and not their free one. I am not sure about
Hotmail.

Yahoo has online help at the site "help.yahoo.com".

First read this: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/mailplus/pop/pop-35.html

and then read this: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html;_ylt=AphvK27xG0P9jG1BBzVf46y7myN4

Well that sucks. I live in America and for POP3 access, I have to pay $20
a year. I wonder what the hell they have against Americans. Yahoo USED
to have free POP3 access in the USA, then they started charging for it.

POP Peeper is an email notifier that runs in your Windows task bar and
alerts you when you have new email on your POP3, IMAP (with IDLE
support), Hotmail\MSN\LiveMail, Yahoo, GMail, MyWay, Excite, iWon,
Lycos.com, RediffMail, Juno and NetZero accounts. IMAP supports allows
you to access AOL, AIM, Fastmail and other services. Send mail
directly from POP Peeper and use the address book to email your
frequently used contacts. POP Peeper allows you to view messages using
HTML or you can choose to safely view all messages in rich or plain
text. Several options are available that will decrease or eliminate
the risks of reading your email (viruses, javascript, webbugs, etc).
POP Peeper can be run from a portable device and can be password
protected. Many notification options are availble to indicate when new
mail has arrived, such as sound alerts (configurable for each
account), flashing scroll lock, skinnable popup notifier, customized
screensaver and more.

Sorry, I don't know anything about email protocols, but since POP
Peeper can do the above, would it be possible that Agnet can do it?

Cancel YahooPlus (The $20 add-on) then switch your account to Yahoo!
Asia! and you'll have Free! POP3! Access! To! Your! Account!

I do it the opposite way and tell gmail to forward email to the
address I use with my email client.

True, but the first step to moving away is to get a method to access
your mail externally allowing you to pull your mail into a better
service provider.
