Re: OE and my former email hotmail service... help

[PA Bear]

There are none but you may not need one at this point.

When were you last able to access the Hotmail account in OE?

GMail; POP3 access and SMTP access; but port 587 won't work with MS Outlook
Express, use port 465 instead. I signed up for a free Yahoo! Mail account
in Japan a while back, and have SMTP/POP3 access to the servers
pop.mail.yahoo.co.jp and smtp.mail.yahoo.co.jp. Presumably, you can get an
account with yahoo.co.uk.

I am currently have a little difficulty with the SMTP server for GMX; but,
if you can read German, you could give it a try.

Yahoo Mail. If the Yahoo domain to which you connect still permits access
to their POP3/SMTP servers then just follow their web help pages on setting
up a POP/SMTP account in OE. If the Yahoo domain doesn't NOT provide free
access to their mail servers, get YahooPOPs which runs as a local
HTTP-to-POP3 proxy between your POP3 e-mail client and Yahoo's HTTP webmail
interface.

http://yahoopops.sourceforge.net/

A Google search on "+free +e-mail" would also show lots of matches to do
some research. There are still some free POP3/SMTP providers except most
have much smaller quotas than Yahoo or Hotmail. However, if you poll your
mailbox frequently enough then you should remain way below your quota,
anyway.

So why can't you use your own ISP's (SBC Yahoo) mailbox?

I do have one account that came with my service and I keep it as my
certifiable one when needed. No spam, no junk. Thanks alot for your info on
Yahoo, I do have an acct. there already. I thought I needed a special email
program.

Thanks for the posting. I don't read German, wish I did. Sounds like your
real at home behind the keys and computer info.

With YahooPOPs, you can use any POP3/SMTP-compliant e-mail program. If you
want a quick way to get at their webmail interface without having to
navigate to it along with the option of making it your default e-mail
program, you can download Yahoo's ActiveX control that will act as the
default e-mail program and automatically start up their webmail interface
(but you have to click on a mailto:// link to trigger that process;
otherwise, you navigate to their webmail interface to use that as your
e-mail "client").
