Hi benitorios


Well in that case there isn't much i can suggest other than not to bother trying Beta software as it is rarely worth it IMO. Made that mistake with Windows Live which gave a less than great user experience for ages although now it it is very good. I hope what you have shown us is not a sign of things to come and is only due to it being in Beta stage otherwise i will definitely not be happy.


Marc

Hi Marc,

actually i was proposed by Yahoo back a year or so ago to upgrade to Yahoo Beta, which is free, and i had agreed. It's just a revamped interface compared to the regular Yahoo Mail. Basically it allows you to drag-drop emails, have a preview pane, which i find quite handy and fast compared to the traditional open-and-read method, and you can have several thumbnails open at the same time (eg. one for your inbox, one with a message you're busy composing, one with an open received email,etc.). All in all, i find it more efficient than the old Yahoo Mail interface, only drawback is is takes longer to load at login.

However it seems the Beta has dropped that possibility of allowing POP3 forwarding. So i'll switch back to original Yahoo and try that , and i can always go back to Yahoo Beta later on.

What is your current incoming port and what network do you use?

Hi all,

well i just tried temporarily using original Yahoo email. I go to mail options, POP & Forwarding, but that section only allows me to select some other accounts which i want to have forwarded to my Yahoo address. It does not let me forward my Yahoo email to another address or mobile device, and of course there are no POP3 settings in sight.

So i guess it's either country-specific (i'm using the yahoo.com) or else you have to pay for the Mail PLus upgrade and then you receive the proper POP3 settings. In the latter case, i believe even with the POP3 settings, they won't let you download your mail until you've upgraded to Mail Plus and paid the 20 bucks.

hi gudduskc,

I think the problem with Outlook Express for sending is that you have to manually change the COM port number from the standard to sth else. I remember seeing this info in one of the threads, but honestly too lazy to look for it...

I've given up trying to set up the YH mail on my phone, i think it won't work until i subscribe for the Yahoo Mail plus.
