Now I know you clever lot will be able to help me here, as you always do! I want to access my yahoo mail account via outlook express 6.0, once I have that working maybe via thunderbird. Did a search on yahoo and followed instructions there for OE 5.0 but no joy.
Please point out where I am being stupid😀
I mean in relation to this question only!

If you get any free e-mail addresses from your ISP, use them instead.

Thunderbird can retrieve mail using the POP3 protocol*. My Yahoo account allows this - it is free but you have to agree to receive advertising mails. Works for me and I don't get any more ads than usual. Famous last words.....
