well. u can actually manage to get free POP access thru yahoo.
just follow the simple steps.
in mail options, edit your personal information. change your location to united states. then in the mail options again, choose 'pop access and mail forwarding'. then choose to enable pop access. u will be taken to some page where u will be asked to sign up for 'yahoo! delivers' (or something like that). choose to sign up. but dont select any of the fields (shopping, enetertainment etc.) and set the frequency to 'once a week'. that way you wont actually recieve any of these newsletters. then pop access will be enabled.
pop server : pop.mail.yahoo.com
smtp server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
peace out.
