Don’t you need to pay for yahoo mail plus or an elevated level to do external (non web) email client access? I’m a yahoo plus subscriber because I use pop3 forwarding and also like the disposable email feature. $20 a year. ---

Ohhh yeah…I forgot yahoo was an asshole like that. That might just be to push the email out to you…You should be able to set it up to receive it. ---

I’ll try it right now, but I’m pretty sure they require the upgraded service. Will report back in a few minutes. ---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ---------- No dice for me. Tried 3 different pop server settings. There is an imap server I found but it’s not listed in official Yahoo documentation so at your own risk. I won’t submit my password to find out if this is valid or not. 😉 [imap.next.mail.yahoo.com](http://imap.next.mail.yahoo.com) for incoming [smtp.next.mail.yahoo.com](http://smtp.next.mail.yahoo.com) for outgoing ---

> [@LZ](#): > > Don’t use Yahoo use GMAIL 🙂 I use both. Yahoo is my primary other than my UB address for work. I have 3 gmail accounts I think. Only 2 are in use though. I actually prefer yahoo mail myself. > [@Mankthetank19](#): > > x2 - You are correct > > I just updated all my Yahoo accounts last week for free since I work for them. Thanks for the confirmation. And nice deal getting the free upgrade. 🙂 ---

Free Yahoo accounts dont support standard POP/IMAP, making them useless. Odd how they do however support Push on iPhone/iPod Touch. Get a GMail account and start the switch. ---
