I started out on the 'net much like Richard did--thru a Fidonet BBS system that had an "Internet E-Mail" Conference (kinda like a newsgroup). No direct TCP/IP connections so he's not able to POP his Yahoo! email--and likewise couldn't do that with a Gmail account.
But you're on the right track. I no longer "surf the 'net on a two-by-four" (my analogy for ACCMAILing) so I checked the features of Yahoo! Mail Plus, the $19.99 (USD) per year service you're mentioning. It includes mail forwarding; the ability to have his Yahoo! mail forwarded to his BBS email address. He will probably need to borrow browser access again to set that up, however. (If I have TCP/IP Internet access, why am I on the ACCMAIL list? Nostalgia in part, plus keeping up to date for those occasional tasks that STILL may need to be accomplished by ACCMAIL methods.) Alternatively to that, he's looking for a script that he could send to www4mail that would access his Yahoo! mail account, retrieve his messages and send them to his BBS email account. I think that's what he was originally asking for. I remember the days when people did incredibly ingenious things on websites thru ACCMAIL methods. Are any of those folks still here? Mike Webb > 1.
