How do I find the POP3 addresses for my hotmail and yahoo email accounts, my ISP is Ntlworld UK.?
why do you want to know this?





p.s. left an answer on your last attempt ;)
Reply:Yahoo: Doesn't provide pop3 access unless you upgrade to a premium account - In other words you have to pay them some money. They don't provide it for free.





Hotmail: Provide a http based interface which you can setup in Outlook Express. This is designed to stop other email clients accessing their http interface because they want you to use OE only...





In short, either stump up cash to yahoo, or use hotmails http interface with OE. You can set this up by adding a new account in OE and specifying hotmail as the server.





This has nothing todo with NTL.

Reply:hotmail doesn't use pop3. Yahoo will be pop.yahoo.com (or .co.uk)
Reply:hotmail doesn't provide pop service. it provides http service which is much better than pop. outlook express automatically takes up the server name. you can access ur mailbox through http service using outlook or eudora etc.


for yahoo... it provides pop access to paid customers. i prefer imap over pop. pop is the worst technology for accessing mailboxes through some program like outlook.


gmail also provides pop service.. but for free... pop is not good. when you want to use email id on several computers via outlook or eudora
