    Right, that's a premium service, but free with GMAIL.

    Yahoo used to have free pop3 access 2-3 years ago. I wish they had at least left the option to download your folders but alas, no.

    Yes!

    There are three possible ways:
    1. you sign up in yahoo free service that allows you to use POP3 protocol in your outlook. this is free, however, you will have to aggree to receive ads from their partners.

    2. You pay :mad: for yahoo premium service. you will not received ads.

    3. You download an application called YPOPs!. This is a FREE application that allows you to download your email from yahoo using OUtlook or any other email client.

    download YPOPs! here:
    http://www.ypopsemail.com/

    For instructions using YPOPs! in outlook see this link:
