I don't know about Hotmail, but I am positive you can both send and receive your Yahoo! Mail through POP3.

I just got a pop3 email account at

They are pretty good.

Thanks - I knew someone would have a solution! I didn't think of looking at the "big" companies like Yahoo.
(You've also saved me the pain of asking one of my children to give up their e-mail address - I probably wouldn't have survived that encounter!)

If you sign-up with Yahoo! Mail, they offer the ability to receive all of your mail in a POP3 format/environment.

Just a free POP3? Hmmmm....not aware of any off the top of my head. To be free they have to make monet somehow, probably from advertisers so that's why they like web-based access.

What I really want is an extra POP3 (not web-based) e-mail account. My isp provides 5, which we're using. I have a web-based account that I could switch my site to, releasing one that I could use, but it's much too slow to use! (It would be quicker to use snail mail, sometimes than the web based account I've got!)

I'd also have to remember to log on and check it - ideally I'd like to use my current e-mail program to check it when I do my current mail.

Am I asking the impossible?

Do you mean hosts that offer large number of POP3 accounts or free web access to existing POP3 accounts?

If you mean the former, I've used Webbox.com and POP3Now.com, both are OK. Webbox has more features while POP3NOW is a quicker but simpler system.
