Mastermund 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 For all you Thunderbird users, I would very much appreciate it if you could tell me what program you use to download Yahoo! mail onto your computer. I recently tried Yahoo POPs, which was, from what I heard, an excellent program. However, after following many people's instructions, I simply could not get it to download my mail. Does anybody have any tried and tested programs used in retrieving Yahoo! mail?(Yes, I know Yahoo!'s POP3 program is for paying customers only and that I am not looking for a true POP3 client, just something to download Yahoo! inbox mail onto my computer.)

arkad 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 I am not sure which country's yahoo did you register. but if you signed out with the yahoo.com.sg (& yahoo.co.uk i think) .. there will be an option for you to enable the POP download. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If others can, you ought to be able too... Anyway, there are other alternatives listed there, so give them a shot too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparx 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 Update ! There's a BETA extension available too for Thunderbird to allow downloading Hotmail / Yahoo. More details can be found in the Mozillazine forum here . IMHO, this might be better as you won't have to keep an app running all the time or remember to start / stop it when your client starts. Being an extension, it'll be integrated right into Thunderbird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strykerclan Leader 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 GMail and Thunderbird will make an explosive combination...(and it means it works beyond expectations for me) whereas Yahoo!(free) makes sure every email you send is bundled with their ad.So what if Yahoo! has Briefcase? You can always use GMail Drive for GMail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
