I have a Yahoo account. I wish I could check it in Mozilla-mail though.

Why not? I get about one spam from them per month but that means they let me access via pop. You can certainly activate pop in yahoo. Maybe you can't access via pop with hotmail but yahoo, gmail and probably most others will let you...


Yahoo make this a premium (paying) service in some of their domains.

If you register for Yahoo with a UK physical address you get an [EMAIL PROTECTED] & POP3 access is free; if you register with a US physical address you get a [EMAIL PROTECTED] but you have to pay $20 or so for POP3 access. At least that has been my experience.

Strangely, although I registered for my yahoo.com ID with my *cough* US address, when I check under options it seems to recognise that I'm connecting via a UK IP address or to their UK data centre, or something. The upgrade price is listed as £11.99 UK Pounds Sterling. Like I say, I access my yahoo.co.uk mail via POP3 all the time.
