It seems everyone has a problem with making POP mail free, so any
free mail accounts have to be other than POP.
It's because of advertising dollars. Web-only access allows them to
sell advertising space. If they allow free POP and just send the
account spam, it gets filtered and you don't see it. If they place
ads in each message you receive, you may simply disable graphics in
your client software.
It other words, it doesn't fit their business model and they can't
make money by giving away POP access. Yahoo tried different methods
before pulling the plug on free POP. Advertisers won't pay for space
that they don't believe anyone is seeing.
