Guide Review - YPOPs! 0.9.5 - Free Yahoo! Mail to POP Email Program Gateway
Yahoo! Mail is a powerful web-based email service, but it is still web-based and does not offer all the features, speed and comfort of a desktop email client.
Fortunately, there are smart tools like YPOPs!. YPOPs! lets you access Yahoo! Mail accounts like any POP account with your favorite email program.
You can fetch mail from all your Yahoo! Mail folders, and YPOPs! lets you even send mail, placing a copy in your Yahoo! Mail sent mail folder. With an email client that supports it, YPOPs! allows you to preview the headers of new messages before downloading them completely.
All this functionality is pretty flexible, and often it is enough. If YPOPs! could act as an IMAP interface to Yahoo! Mail, though, that would add even more power and spice.
