TRUE — BUT — GMAIL will NOT let you post to YAHOOGROUPS! I have six yahoogroups and set up a bunch of gmail email addys, and THEN found out after-the-fact that all my emails I sent to MY OWN YAHOOGROUPS using Gmail get RETURNED as “UNDELIVERABLE.”

What a nightmare. Thanks Google! ;-/

I just opened up an Asian Yahoo account after trying the latest revision of ypops.

Ypops had a lot of probs with Outlook, though it worked with another e-mail application called Eudora. So yup, sadly, it looks like Ypops is a gonner. Also opened up a second Gmail account as an insurance. Gmail account names are getting scarce. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is already a black market in popular names.

The Asian Yahoo was easy to set up, very easy; and you don’t have to go to the second URL to set the POP access on. You can do that through the internal options once you are logged in to the new account. There is no silly questionnaire if you do it that way.

Gmail is much faster than Yahoo US, but the Asian Yahoo account is just as fast as Gmail which is bizarre considering its a few thousand miles away. Or is it? My guess is that if you use an Asian Yahoo account in the US then the server is US based. Hong Kong or Singapore will just redirect after logon. Makes sense.

Gmail with access from your mobile, the speed, the IMAP instead of POP, has to be the way to go. Just many folks know my old Yahoo addresses!

Steer clear of ypops – one of its programmers left, and the program is DOOMED and WILL go under, despite the author’s claims.

I’ll cough up the $20 for POP3 access. I don’t want to, but I hve no choice. Changing the region ALSO changes your email address. Since I have biz cards with a yahoo.com address on them , five of them for five job types, I am set back $100 a year.

A J: because Yahoo have it’s paid service called Yahoo Mail Plus! if Yahoo provide free POP3 then it will hurt their Yahoo Mail Plus! user and hurt their own profit.

Why yahoo US is not providing free pop3 access. gmail has all sorts of facilities providing, why the users still want to use yahoo. there are more facilities in gmail.

Eric, YPOPs is not a service. It is a tool specifically used to send your Yahoo email directly to your PC’s POP3 email application (Outlook Express, Winmail, etc). If Yahoo didn’t charge for this basic ’service’, YPOPs wouldn’t exist. But it does what it’s designed to do very well, ah, most of the time.

YPOPs! :: Free POP3/SMTP Access to Yahoo! Mail really doesn’t work very well, or consistently.

About ypopsemail.com — what a stupid service that you have a download tool for, and then you can ONLY use pop3 with that tool. Thanks but no thanks.
