is your address @yahoo.co.uk?
if sopmeone sends it to yourusername@yahoo.com do you get anyway?

can you try?

i am in ny -
maybe i will shell out the 20 bucks - anyway
it is not a lot for smtp / 2 gig / pop access etc...
it is just i am not crazy about my yahoo user id's

Yes it is @yahoo.co.uk and no, I don't get stuff sent to myusername@yahoo.com

May be worth just shelling out the 20 bucks.

Following Lilly's instructions, and subscribing to Yahoo Delivers, it works fine for my yahoo.it address and TB0.7.
It's strange that the service is not available for US users -- we did'nt exaclty win the war!
Obviously I can help Stefano from Italy, if I can do something.
Thank you for the advice.
Best,

Gustavo

in the US it used to be this way -
I used to have POP access in exchange for receiving ad messages -

they changed a year or 2 ago -

now i have to decide wether to pay
yahoo.com

or runbox.com

which seems a good email service with more available usernames,,,

but yahoo is easy to remember and 2 gig

Glad to help, Gustavo. I hope we aren't going to go the way of yahoo.com and have our service withdrawn in the future.

just thought i'd point out that you could probably trick yahoo into allowing you a yahoo.co.uk account by using a uk based proxy when signing up - ah but just realised that it still wouldn't help you with getting email from a .com address because there's still no way to forward your .com email to your .co.uk address without paying for yahoo pops which kind of defeats the whole object...bum that seemed like a good idea for a few seconds.

Hello,
I read this thread and i'm interested to figure out how to make my Yahoo mail to be access in thunderbird. Is there a step by step procedure for this using yahoopops?

If you mean the 'Yahoo!PoPs' referred to in the post after yours, it's free.

I'm happily sending and receiving my Yahoo mail within Thunderbird completely free and I never have to go to the Yahoo mail site!

This program works fine within Thunderbird, and it's FREE.

sorry, got it arse about face - meant yahoo mail plus that yahoo tells you you'll have to subscribe to if you're in the us.
