Can I get gmail messages sent to yahoo? what pop do I use?

I don't think you can have your gmail messages sent to your yahoo mail unless you forward them, or have them forwarded .. But.. You can have access to both your gmail and your yahoo mail by using Outlook Express.. If you don't want to pay for Yahoo Mail Plus, and you want to use outlook express, you can access your yahoo mail if you use a program called Ypops..





The following are instructions for using Ypops with Yahoo.. You can get the gmail servers from gmail at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answe...





then you are ready to go ..all of this should take you less than about 30 minutes to set up








Download Ypops 0.9.1 from the following link http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles...


Then click on the the file "Ypops-win-0.9.1.exe" save it to your "My documents" folder, then go to it in "My documents" and double click on it to install it..





Then:


Open up Outlook express


1.Go to "Tools" at the top of your screen then Select "Accounts"


2. Click "Add" button and select "Mail...".


3. Enter your name and click "Next".


4. Enter your email address and click "Next".


5. Set "My incoming mail server is a" to POP3.


6. Set "Incoming (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) mail server" to "127.0.0.1".


7. Set "Outgoing (SMTP) mail server" to "127.0.0.1" and click "Next". (Verify that SMTP is enabled in YPOPs.)


8. Set "Account name:" to your Yahoo! login.


9. Set "Password:" to you Yahoo! password and hit "Next".


10. Hit "Finish".


11. Click on new account named "127.0.0.1" and hit "Properties".


12. Rename account to "YPOPs" or something nice.


13. Select "Servers" tab.


14. Check "My server requires authentication".


15. Select "Advanced" tab.


16. Change "Server Timeouts" to Long - 5 minutes.


17. You may wish to select "Leave a copy of messages on server". This way the messages will not be deleted from Yahoo! when you download them.


18. You may wish to select "Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items'".


This way when you delete a message in OE and empty the trash it's deleted from Yahoo! as well
