[newbie] gotmail for yahoo?

I have a yahoo.com free mail account on which I can't use pop or
forward.

Is there any gotmail equivalent for yahoo?

Thanks in advance,

Adolfo

Not??  Somewhere there is a setting that you can switch on to use POP3. 
It implies that Yahoo can send you information (read: spam), but the 
sender is always the same, so a simple filter to /dev/null is easily setup.
The server to use after setting this up is pop.mail.yahoo.com.

Log into mail.yahoo.com, select mail options. Next window gives you 
Management (center column). Then select POP access and Forwarding.
(context: Use Yahoo! as your permanent email address. Forward to another 
mail account, or download your Yahoo! messages to your POP3 mail client)

Good luck,
Paul

Look for an application called YoSucker.  It is available off the net and is 
very easy to use.

This service used to be free. More than a year that they charge for it.

I understand that you can retrieve messages from *other* pop mail
accounts into your yahoo account for free. However, to use pop or
forward to get the messages *from* yahoo mail server you have to pay:
Forward your email or download your Yahoo! messages to your POP3 mail
client for only $19.99/year (Yahoo Mail Options-Pop Access and
Forwarding).

Thanks for your response,

Adolfo

Google for fetchyahoo.pl; I use it, works great.

Thanks!

I'll compare it to YoSucker to decide which one I'll keep.

Again, thanks a lot.
