Gmail includes forwarding too, it is accessed from the account settings, it has comprehensive tweaking regarding this option and it worked nice for me since the launch of Gmail service.
Any one without internet access needs somebody abroad to create and adjust the Gmail account for him. BUT it wont work as the - From - line should be originated from the Gmail account itself while the - To - line is the Accmail specific service address as far as I know ( I didn't check it myself in practice). If SMTP port 465 and POP3 port 995 are accessible at the mail server, then Gmail could be accessed directly from any mail client like ( Outlook Express ) right from your PC desktop....but this doesn't eliminate the need for a person from abroad to create and tweak the said account on behalf of the "misfortunate" person. Bassim Baghdad-Iraq ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Webb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 8:54 AM Subject: ACCMAILing Yahoo Email I started out on the 'net much like Richard did--thru a Fidonet BBS system that had an "Internet E-Mail" Conference (kinda like a newsgroup). No direct TCP/IP connections so he's not able to POP his Yahoo! email--and likewise couldn't do that with a Gmail account. But you're on the right track. I no longer "surf the 'net on a two-by-four" (my analogy for ACCMAILing) so I checked the features of Yahoo! Mail Plus, the $19.99 (USD) per year service you're mentioning. It includes mail forwarding; the ability to have his Yahoo! mail forwarded to his BBS email address. He will probably need to borrow browser access again to set that up, however. (If I have TCP/IP Internet access, why am I on the ACCMAIL list? Nostalgia in part, plus keeping up to date for those occasional tasks that STILL may need to be accomplished by ACCMAIL methods.) Alternatively to that, he's looking for a script that he could send to www4mail that would access his Yahoo! mail account, retrieve his messages and send them to his BBS email account. I think that's what he was originally asking for. I remember the days when people did incredibly ingenious things on websites thru ACCMAIL methods. Are any of those folks still here? Mike Webb > 1.
