When I first started I chose Yahoo free mail as a an option for my email communication. It was simple choice really. I had used it before and it was free. The past three weeks as my email communications have grown so has my needs. So here is what I did. I paid for the Yahoo Pro; it was only $20 for the year so not a huge investment. I did it primarily for the pop3 functionality. Then I downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird's email program. Integrating it was fairly easy. Setting it up was not. lol I had to recreate all my folders and filters. Then I found it did not automatically sync my sent folder. I had to research to find out I had to set a sent filter and then move online all my sent emails to the inbox and then have them automatically download into my Sent folder. I chose Mozilla Thunderbird for its ease of use and its functionality and its powerful search features. The one downside was I was living in two communication worlds. I am used to being very quick in returning emails and found it frustrating to be patient while my learning curve and the technology caught up. I think now that it is set up I have a better solution for me to communicate with everyone.
You got mail,

Yahoo charges for POP access? Hopefully they have some other features to justify charging for email; I've had POP and IMAP access from Gmail for a while now.
