Hi!

Is it possible to configure Outlook Express so I could fetch e-mail from my
Yahoo account in the same way that I can with a Hotmail account?

Thanks,
/JD

Do a Google for YahooPops! --read the configuration instructions carefully.
It will download your Yahoo mail to your POP3 account.

Yes JD its definetely possible, yahoo will charge you for the SMTP and
POP addresses though, for approximately 29$ a year they will give you
the smtp and pop addresses and using this you can configure your
outlook or outlook express to bring in your mails.

Not unless you have POP3 access to Yahoo (it's a pay-for service).

If you're too scared to go look for yourself, ask me
about COTSE. I'd be happy to tell you about it.

See if you can get the server address of Yahoo! and stick it into the HTTP
part of the new mail setup.

Not true. YahooPOPS! works without the Yahoo POP3. It d/loads the e-mails
to the OE Inbox.

That one never worked for me even after half a dozen attempts. So I don't
bother recommending it <shrug>. YMMV and all that...

And it's not exactly "the same way that I can with a Hotmail account" as
the OP requested. Ah, but then neither is my suggestion above...

There is a piece of software called IZYMail (From http://www.izymail.com)

This allows you to download mail from Hotmail/Msn/Yahoo/aol Web Mail
accounts.


Hope this helps
