try out Softhome.net. They're a free email service that supports POP3. I use them, they're great.

That's messed up! I use my Yahoo mail as my main email because i can check it from anywhere and download all the messages on Outlook. Damn them! :disgust::frown:

This might be the solution if you can't switch the yahoo mail.

 

[Miramonti]

This really sucks. There's no way I'm going to pay but the problem is if I switch to hotmail, you can be sure they will make this change down the road too, those bastads.

There's a TON of free pop email services. Just search google for "free pop email." Mail.ru is decent, so is amexmail.
