Read/Send Yahoo! e-mail using disabled Yahoo! POP3 service

Using e-mail client to check for new emails is so much easier and convenient without the need of opening your browser, logging in to website, typing in your username and password, and waiting for the whole interface to be loaded.
With e-mail client, you can skip all the process above and still able to read and send email just by opening your configured e-mail client.
Yahoo Email POP3
Yahoo! Mail disabled free access to its POP3 service o­n 24th April, 2002. So it’s no longer possible using any e-mail client such as Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook to check your Yahoo! e-mails.
Is there anyway to continue using any e-mail client such as Outlook Express to read and send Yahoo! email eventhough this free service has been disabled by Yahoo!?

Fortunately, YES! Continue reading to find out how…


The YPOPs! team consisting of 6 person has created a free software that acts as a middleman between your e-mail client and the Yahoo! POP3 service. Well, this application is more like a gateway. It provides a POP3 server interface at o­ne end to talk to email clients and an HTTP client (browser) interface at the other which allows it to talk to Yahoo! In short, YPOPs! is an application that provides POP3 access to Yahoo! Mail. It is available o­n the Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac platforms.

Yahoo Mail Beta is not supported by YPOPs! You must switch back to the normal old Yahoo Mail interface to use YPOPs! otherwise you’ll get an error message window like the one below.

If you’ve made up your mind to use e-mail client to check your Yahoo! e-mails, it doesn’t make a different if you’re using the Yahoo old or the new beta.

To switch from the new Yahoo Mail Beta to the the old interface, just follow the instructions below.
1. Sign in to your Yahoo! email at http://mail.yahoo.com/

2. At the top of your Yahoo! email, you’ll see a note saying “Welcome, yourname”. You’ll see a “Switch Back” link just beside it.
Switch Yahoo email beta to old

3. After clicking on the Switch Back link, you’ll be prompted to confirm switching back to your old original Yahoo! Mail. Click “Switch Back” button again.

An important note that you should know is you can’t revert back to the new Yahoo Mail Beta once you’ve done a switch before.
So make sure you’ve really made up your mind to use YPOPs! with email client to send and receive Yahoo Mail in future.

After downloading and installing YPOPs!, by default you don’t need to configure anything. The default configurations looks fine. All you need to configure is your email client’s POP3 and SMTP address which is 127.0.0.1
For complete tutorial on email client configuration, please refer from this link.

      I downloaded YPOPS to use my free version of Yahoo with MS Outlook because I want to be able to send my publications I create on MS as the email message, so the receiver doesn\’t have to open an attachment, they view it as the email. When I added our office gmail account to Outlook, the messages go through fine. But now that I\’ve added my personal yahoo email to Outlook on my computer the flyer, for example, doesn\’t send as the message. All the words on the document appear in the message of the email, and the flyer is sent as an attachment that the receiver then has to open to view.

      In Outlook the sent message views as I intended, with the flyer as the email. But when the message is opened through the server I sent it to, Yahoo! for example, the message is as describe above.

      Is there a setting I need to change or is it just that with YPOPS the email message won\’t send the flyer as the actual message?

      Still getting this mystery Yahoo Beta block.

      YahooPOPs detects the browser’s settings by sending a “test” to the computer before allowing the connection. For example if you were to open Yahoo with the ancient Netscape 2.0, you will load up the earliest Yahoo Mail display. You need to mimic the response of this, then perhaps this error will go away.

      I have over 10 mailboxes cram-packed with mail waiting to be downloaded. (each account serves a particular interest and communication is focused on that interest – I don’t get overwhelmed that way.)

    • Peter

      when i press the test button it fails saying
      1. log into incoming mail server timed out waiting for a response
      2 cannot connect to outgoing pop3
      can u help
