It's actually this company that provides the service. It has nothing to do with hotmail. You give your userdata to this company and it uses it to get the mail from hotmail and passes it on to you.

 

If you don't mind having your mail read by this company go ahead. If your care about privacy you should be aware.

 

Have fun.

 

Devries - do you mean we give the details and they then query the M$ servers and return to us? in which case, why can't we just query the M$ servers - or do pop3hot pay M$ to provide the service to us?

 

it's because pop3hot.com doesn't want provide us to do that process by ourselves.

With Yahoo, you have to pay money for pop access.

 

I don't know about paying money but I have been using this technique on my Yahoo mail account since this year on Evolution and I have just used the info to configure my hotmail account also. :D

Thanks guys

 

I noticed for yahoo the servers were proceeded by the words pop and smtp. Is that really necessary.

This is not true. I don't pay for my Yahoo mailbox which gives me pop/smtp access and a 100MB mailbox and the ability to send 10MB of attachments per message.(Which is quite enough for my needs.)

 

:banana:

 

if that's real, can you tell what pop server of yahoo are you using... pop.mail.yahoo.com wont allow, I tried it awhile ago..

@ramfree

 

if I have a user@yahoo.com.ph, what pop server should I have to use?

.

then in the username field on my emai client, should I put "user" only or should it be like "user@yahoo.com.ph"?

 

TIA

 

edit:

 

never mind, got it already :P

 

I am now able to access my yahoo via thunderbird thru POP3
