Now my gmail is working well just like what you've said. Thank you so much for the trick and the rapid response.

I have Gmail downloading my Hotmail emails via POP3, since before I wrote this article, and it still downloads my emails from Hotmail. So yes, the POP3 will do the trick and runs smoothly.

Since you are still logging in to download your emails, I would say no. But just to be on the safe side, I recommend logging in once in a while just to make sure. Hi James,

Will this “collection” method through gmail keep it alive so i don’t have to sign in any more? thanks.

But for me, the account I am trying on is about 5 or so years old. I go to Options -> Mail Options -> POP & Forwarding, just as the URL you gave me has in the third picture. When I go to setup or edit, it goes to the old theme, which allows me to make the changes. If it doesn't work, do what the article says to change your preferred content.

Basically what you gave me was because you have already got POP-Forwarding activated in your account. When I go into options I find "add or edit an account" and not "Set up or edit and account". For that you need to change your Yahoo service. What I was talking about you will be more clear after reading this article - http://picobit.wordpress.com/2009/04/10/yahoo-mail-free-pop-access/ But I agree you are a Gmail Black Belt master. :) Thanks once again buddy.

"We're still tweaking the Yahoo!7 Mail POP & Forwarding option. Temporarily you'll need to access it through the Yahoo!7 Mail Classic interface. But, rest assured, any changes made will take effect once you've reloaded the Yahoo!7 Mail." So if you are using the new interface, you have to go to the old one. To access the POP settings, go to options, and click POP & Forwarding. You will then see a small link saying to configure the settings. This URL may work http://popfwd.mail.yahoo.com/pf/PopFwd?.done=http://au.f584.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Options&rand=1249782902 In there, you can click forwarding. I think it works to all email accounts, and not just Selected ones like Hotmail does. You can also set up POP so you can use a desktop client such as thunderbird (see part 2) or to setup in Gmail to download mail. I hope this helps and I am glade that you liked my post.
