Well, to get Hotmail working you had to PAY for it (unless you account
was created before Sept 27 in which case you will have to PAY for
Hotmail access via Outlook [Express] after March). Your choices for
Yahoo Mail is to PAY for it or use YahooPOPs.

You do NOT have to pay for the yahoo pop service but you do have to subcribe
to one of there mailing lists. Look at the help pages under "cannot send
pop3 mail"

"...have to subcribe to one of there mailing lists...." When you do
subscribe, you'll pay, not cash, but you'll pay.

While users are trying to *reduce* the spam that clogs their mailbox,
you want to *increase* it? With YahooPOPs, you don't pay for YahooPOPs,
you don't pay for a freebie Yahoo mail account, you don't pay to clog
your mailbox with spam and have to pay with your time to eradicate the
crap, and you don't have to pay your time seeing their ads on their
webmail pages.

A search on your string "cannot send POP3 e-mail" turned up no matches
when using the Help link on the signup/login page, but there are matches
when searching for the same string from the Yahoo Mail help page (but
none mentioned the "free access with opt-in spam subscription" that you
mention), so searches are bounded by where you start your search and you
didn't provide that information. Unless you can guarantee that the
search will find the same matches regardless of the bounding (i.e.,
topic) of the search start point, provide a link to the article you
profess exists somewhere in Yahoo's help system.

Be aware that not all Yahoo domains operate the same. They may have
differing policies, requirements, and quotas. What Yahoo.co.uk does for
you in the UK (which still provides free access to POP3 and SMTP
servers) is not what Yahoo.com in the USA provides (which discontinued
POP3 and SMTP access for free a couple years ago).

There is no POP access for the free version of Yahoo. Gotta pay to get it.

Good luck,

There is no POP access for the free version of Yahoo.

Unless you are in the UK!
