Hi Sarah, She doesn't need Yahoo Pops, as the service is already able to be forwarded to her computer. When I referred to changing her settings in her e-mail options, I was referring to telling the Yahoo server how she wants her messages to be handled. For example, Yahoo spam Guard gives you the ability to activate the bulk folder, and have all messages that Yahoo thinks are spam delivered into that folder, at which point, you can go in via web mail, and advise spam guard which messages are not spam and delete all the rest. I'm not sure if the sender's e-mail address gets blocked when you simply delete them, but that's the only option you're given in terms of getting rid of them when they're in your bulk folder. When you have pop access with Yahoo mail, usually through an ISP or if you pay for the premium version, you have the option of having the messages that are in the bulk folder delivered to your e-mail client inbox, or just leave them until the time you've allotted to keep them comes around, and they get deleted automatically. If you choose to have them delivered to your inbox via your third party client, Yahoo gives you the option of having the messages tagged as bulk or spam or something like that. Quite often, you'll notice a message from a member on a list, with the prefix attached to it of bulk or spam. Aside from that meaning that the person did not shift tab to the subject line to change it, smile, but also because their e-mail server has tagged that e-mail as spam, and that message was then downloaded to the person's computer before they had a chance to tell the server that it wasn't spam, and that the e-mail address should be saved in the address book that Yahoo provides. In essence, she already has pop access to her Yahoo mail, via ATT, she just needs to configure the account in terms of how it handles e-mail and getting it downloaded to her computer.
