  • Answer:

    If you want to use Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or other third party email clients to view your email you have 2 options. Subscribe to mail plus: http://billing.mail.yahoo.com/bm/Upgrades or download and install YPOPS http://ypopsemail.com/ then follow the directions for your version of outlook here, http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-35.html If you have trouble with set up, check the YPOPS installation page for alternate set up instructions. http://dbeusee.home.comcast.net/ I currently utilize the most recent version of Thunderbird (2.0.0.4) and version 0.8.3 of YPOPS (there is a more recent version of YPOPS if you are interested) and have no problems.

You don't have to use the isp email. If fact I usually advise people against using email from an isp. Your isp can and does change with time, yahoo mail has been here for at least 10 years. During that time I've had 4 different isp's. If I used isp email I would have had to tell all my friends my new email address, this way you don't have to.
