Basically the POP fwding is open for everyone who is not on international domain. i.e, everyone expect username@yahoo.com will have free POP fwding. Read it at yahoo help page.

Okey I found one bad thing about yahoo POP fwds. Yahoo deletes all mails from inbox after sending them to you. Is it possible to make the mails get copied rather than moved?

To configure your account on computer-


[FONT=&quot]POP Access Settings[/FONT]


 [FONT=&quot]In order to read your Yahoo! Mail an external email client (such as Eudora, Outlook, Netscape, etc.), you will need to configure the Incoming (POP) and Outgoing (SMTP) server settings so that it can send and receive messages from your Yahoo! Mail account. Generally, you can find these settings under the Tools or Preferences menus for your particular email program.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Important: Do not delete your incoming mail settings[/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]If you are already receiving mail from another mail server (such as incoming mail to your address at your ISP), you will need to add a new POP account. Sometimes this is called a new "profile," sometimes a new "personality," depending on your email client. If your email client only allows you to receive mail from one POP server at a time, make sure you write down your current settings before you replace them with Yahoo! Mail settings so that you can change them back if you need to. Below you will find the server settings for accessing your Yahoo! Mail.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Server Settings[/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]Incoming Mail Server (POP3):[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]pop.mail.yahoo.co.in [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]smtp.mail.yahoo.co.in [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]using SMTP port 587[/FONT] [FONT=&quot] [What's this?][/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]Account Name/Username:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Your user name[/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]Email address:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Your complete E-Mail address[/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]Password:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Your Yahoo! Mail password[/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]We've given directions below for configuring POP access to Yahoo! Mail for selected email clients. Your client may not be on this list, and server settings vary from client to client. Remember, even after you configure your mail client to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages, you can always log in to your Yahoo! Mail account to send and receive as well.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Microsoft Outlook 2002 XP & 2003[/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]To configure your POP settings for Microsoft Outlook 2002 (sometimes referred to as Outlook XP) and 2003, follow these steps: [/FONT]

 [FONT=&quot]7.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Check the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication." [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]8.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]If you would like to keep a copy of your email messages on the Yahoo! Mail server, select the "Advanced" tab. Check the box next to "Leave a copy of messages on the server." [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]9.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Click the "OK" button. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]10.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Click the "Next" button on the Email Account Wizard, then click "Finished." [/FONT]

 [FONT=&quot]2.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Select the radio button next to "Edit an existing account" and click the "Next" button. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]3.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Double-click the Yahoo! account. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]4.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Select the "Advanced" tab. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]5.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]In the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on both the Yahoo! Mail server and on your local computer. If you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server after you have received them in Outlook, do not check this box. [/FONT]



[FONT=&quot]Microsoft Outlook 98 and 2000[/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]Outlook allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages. Unfortunately, Microsoft Outlook 97 does not support authenticated SMTP, and thus Microsoft Outlook 97 cannot be used to read Yahoo! Mail messages. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Microsoft Outlook 98 and 2000[/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]To add a new email account to your existing profile: [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]1.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]From the Tools menu, select "Accounts." If you do not see "Accounts," place your cursor over the two arrows at the bottom of the list to display more choices. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]2.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Click the "Add" button. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]3.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]From the Add menu, click "Mail." [/FONT]

 [FONT=&quot]6.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]In the box labeled "My incoming mail server is a..." select "POP3" server. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]7.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Type "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail (POP3 or IMAP) Server box. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]8.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Type "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]9.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Click "Next." [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]10.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]In the Account Name box, enter your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com"). [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]11.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]In the Password box, enter your Yahoo! Mail password. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]12.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Check "Remember Password" if you do not want Outlook to prompt you for your password each time you check your mail. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]13.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Do not check the box labeled "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)." [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]14.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Click "Next." [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]15.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Choose the appropriate connection type under the "Which Method Do You Use to Connect to the Internet" heading. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]16.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]If you chose "Connect using my phone line," you will need to select a dial-up connection in the Dial-up Connection Wizard and click "Next." [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]17.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Click "Finish." [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Important:[/FONT] [FONT=&quot] The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on, follow these steps: [/FONT]

 [FONT=&quot]2.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Select the "Mail" tab. [/FONT]

 [FONT=&quot]5.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication." [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]6.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Please make sure that "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" is not checked. [/FONT]
 [FONT=&quot]7.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Click "OK." [/FONT]

 [FONT=&quot]5.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Check "Leave a copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on the Yahoo! Mail server as well as on your local computer.
