Thats something I have been mulling over. We all know of the scenarios where in the free services of a lot of email providers went "pay". With this sudden outbreak of email space its kinda gonna get to that point again I feel. All bubbles must burst. I think I'll stick to my office mail for now ;)

Remember, there is no free lunch. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't true!! In case of google we can understand that they are an established company and earns good revenue through ads. But about these bluebottle guys? We won't know when they shut shop and disappear. You can't rely on their services because its free and comes with no guarantee.

Secondly to get their protection against spam, I have give my username and password there :shock: :shock: alongwith mail servers. :roll: I would never ever do that!!

The best way now-a-days is to book your own domain, host it somewhere (probably with me ;)) and use the mail. Its not even expensive and if you are even a little serious about your emails, this is the way to go. Get POP3, SMTP and even webmail (depends on hosting).

*yahoopops.sourceforge.net/
this is where i downloaded yahoo pops application frm....
and this is what the website says ....
YPOPs! is an application that provides POP3 access to Yahoo! Mail. It is available o­n the Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac platforms.

Yahoo! Mail disabled free access to its POP3 service o­n 24th April, 2002. This application emulates a POP3 server and enables popular email clients like Outlook, Netscape, Eudora, Mozilla, etc., to download email from Yahoo! accounts. We do not go against the license agreements of Yahoo! Mail. This application is completely legitimate and well within the realms of legal software.

How do we do it you ask? Well, this application is more like a gateway. It provides a POP3 server interface at o­ne end to talk to email clients and an HTTP client (browser) interface at the other which allows it to talk to Yahoo!

its quite legal ....

Yes
Incoming Server Name (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server Name (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com

is correct setting for a .co.in account.

Some Clarification Needed:
Totally Wrong. POP3 does not work for .co.in accounts. It works for China, Australia and UKaccounts. No idea about .com accounts.

Some more clarification I was talking in normal case i.e without Yahoo! Pops. Also ramank was not discussing Yahoo Pops.

I use yahoo! pops and it works in every yahoo! acc. Without yahoo! pops only yahoo uk, australia and china have free pop3 access.

Got it?
