Access POP3 Email/Multiple Accounts Using Yahoo Webmail

What happens if your email provider doesn't support Web based email? How do you get your email when your on the road, on holiday from another computer?

Well one solution would be to simply change to an ISP that does! That maybe a bit drastic and involves lots of complications. There is however a very simple and elegant solution if you have a Yahoo email account (including free accounts)

Here we will look at a very nice Yahoo email feature that allows you to use your yahoo mailbox as a central mailbox for multiple email accounts.

You can configure yahoo email to retrieve email from other mailboxes in much the same way that you configure Outlook express to access multiple mailboxes. Once you configure Yahoo to pull email from other accounts then the email is placed in your Yahoo inbox just like email that is sent directly to the Yahoo mailbox.

Once the email is in your Yahoo Mailbox you can read it using Yahoo Webmail (i.e. your browser) or if you have a paid account you can retrieve it using your normal POP3 client.

The external POP3 accounts aren't checked automatically. You have to request that Yahoo checks them by clicking "check other POP mail accounts" on the screen.

You can even leave the email on your server so that you can download it to your normal email client when you return.

More detailed configuration details are given in Access Normal POP3 Email Using Yahoo Webmail configuration guide
