Yahoo Email POP

Whats up everyone. This is the first thread I've started and was careful to run multiple searches and read thru a ton of treads before posting it. I'm hoping someone can give me a definitive answer as to if it's possible to get your Yahoo email via some sort of POP without paying for their premium service.
I've used XpressMail (I have a Cingular 8525) and that seemed to work, but it's just a terrible program that I didn't like. I do have work email that uses an Outlook server and that works fine, but I can't get my Yahoo to work. I don't even need push, I would be happy to have a program on my PDA/cell that will just check it every 15 minutes or so.
Yahoo Go! seems to be something that would work, but they don't have 2.0 for my phone yet and it seems there is a huge memory leak issue with 1.0.
Outside of Xpress Mail and Go are there any suggestions for receiving Yahoo email on my phone?
Thanks!

Works for me as normal POP. I have a yahoo.co.uk email address, and can use both pop.mail.yahoo.com and pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk, without paying for anything.

Cool!! I didn't know it was that simple, I've been using Ypops! for a while, when in fact there's no need for that !1
The problem now is that outlook retrieves ALL messages from my inbox folder. in Ypops I could retrieve only the UNREAD messages in the inbox, which is very helpful. I don't wanna download all 1700+ emails which are on the yahoo account. I know there's a possibility to keep a copy on the server, but it's not what I want... Its would take almost 1 GB to download it all
Is there a way to configure Outlook (without using Ypops) to retrieve only unead messages????
Yahoo! Japan also allows POP without paying for anything...
I would have to sign up for a new yahoo.uk account though, correct? I would really like to keep my current email account as I've had it for about 10 years now...

Yes, as I've also explained in my related tutorial (please DO keep an eye on my articles and check my even older ones - they may prove very helpful) at, say, http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=42913 , it's only the "standard" yahoo.com that doens't have FREE pop3 access. All the others do.
Please DO read the above article, I've explained everything in there.

Well, am I missing something?? I have a @yahoo.com account, I didn't upgrade to yahoo plus, but still can receive and send email through Outlook, using the simple pop3 and smtp settings. How is that possible?? in the internal setting of yahoo, I've set it up to UK/Ireland, so I could try the Yahoo mail BETA (which I didn't like)
Anyway - I take the chance to ask again my question - is it possible to let Outlook download ONLY the UNREAD emails in my inbox???
Thanks

I did read your excellent article prior to posting Menneisyys. It was very informative. I was just hoping that some else may have come up with a solution or if all the @yahoo.com users really are screwed.
Kamal- would you mind telling me exactly what settings you are using in yahoo itself and also in Outlook? Thanks!

I can access my account via POP3 on my 8525 for free. And yes I'm in America. It's pretty much the same way as the uk version just without the .uk

Calendar appointments from Lotus Notes - Citrix :(

Hi Guys
i'm trying to get my work Lotus Notes appointments in to my WM6 device. Sadly this is not as easy as it should be as its Citrix environment and locked down tighter than a nuns chastity belt.
So, I thought I had an idea! I added my personal email address as an Invite to a meeting and hey presto... the phone received it. The email had the attachment:
C085635.ics
The file even had the little calendar icon ... "result!" i thought... until i clicked it and got the following message:
"Failed to save". Received data may be incomplete"
I've tried this with a couple of appointments but i get the same message. I think the error is misleading as all other attachments come through fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
same problems as you
Hello,
I have the same problems as you. Have you found a solution?
Thank you for your reply.
I've found a solution. Just enable "Include file attachments". You can found the setting in the Active Sync options, by the Email Settings. Hope it worked for you too.
I didn't find a solution to that specific problem but when I changed ROMS to a diferent one, it started working fine.
For me, it wasn't as Sussex said as
I think the error is misleading as all other attachments come through fine.

However, hope it works for you as if it is your solution, its an easy one to fix
Simillar problem
Have same problem - received lotus notes meeting request
I see c083058.ics file attachment, but when i click on it i get :
"Failed to save". Received data may be incomplete"
Anyone found solution yet?
Using HTC Pure, winMO 6.5 as i got it from ATT
using Gmail account through IMAP4.. if that matters...
Any help is greatly appreciated...
(transferring to outlook and syncing the phone is not an opion for me - i an on the go, need to receive my mail and appointments during the day , and i don't have PC with me all the time)
Did anyone ever figure this out? I have the exact same issue on my HTC Tilt 2.
bumping up in hopes of a solution...
Bumping this up....ics from lotusnotes not working on my htc HD2 running Touch X-treme rom (OS-6.5.3). I fwded this same email to my BB9700 and it works fine on that device.
Any solution yet?

Html-mail -- Internet pictures blocked

Hello all,
Is there a way to automatically download pictures in html-mail? Now my device says: "To protect your privacy, pictures from the Internet are not automatically downloaded." Very annoying ...
I have a HTC P3300 with windows mobile 6 (Meschle's ROM)
Thanks
Automatic pic download?????
I was thinking the same thing....Im trying to find out now
...this has got to be THE most annoying thing EVER...
I've been looking for a solution to this one too...
I want my html email to be ACTUAL html WITH pictures by default...whats the point of blocking the pictures? You might as wel just use text email instead...!
PLEASE post the solution to this if you find it...
afaik if you get a spam mail with images, and these are downloaded, they recognize it and then you will get TONS of spam.
so the first spam mail is just a test for that e-mail address.

This I understand. But with respect, that still has nothing to do with wanting the option of turning the images on or off of my own volition.
Not to mention in MY case, I have rules set up that move email from my contact address book to a folder called "sync" - and thats the only folder that I am syncing to my mobile. were talking friends and business clients...NOT anything else...so in my case, that rule fails...what...3x a year...if that.
Again, anyone know how to turn OFF the automatic picture blocking of html email on wm6?
Drat! Had hoped I'd find a solution to this problem, but it looks like I'll have to keep searching, like everyone else? Doesn't make sense that there wouldn't be an options setting or registry flag to control this behavior since it is so annoying to some of us...
anyone ever find a way to do this? I see lots of threads about it but no answers.
There is still No Answer on this Forum or any other that I have found. I moved to Qmail and Am very happy, of Course it has its own challenges.
I'm also looking for a solution to this.
so Bumpety Bump Bump!!!
Some solution please ....

How send SMS from PC

Hey everyone,
my question is rather simple. Does anyone know of a program, that I could use to send text messages from the computer, rather than my touch pro 2?
Managing sms from the computer would be nice aswell, but it's not necessary.
Thanks a lot.

A quick bit of googling for FreeSMS 1.4.6 should point you in the right direction! I have no idea if its freeware or not!
Thanks...
But I was thinking more in the likes of this:
Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Outlook SMS Add-in (MOSA)
(I can't post outside links)
Ideally, I would like a software, that connects to the TP2, gets all the texts, manages them and lets me write texts to phone numbers stored on the phone.
Hi again,
Yippie! I found one.
Here it goes:
Efficasoft Mobile Express
Moved as not software release.
Go to txt2day.com voila!
