Yahoo has introduced a s/w called Zimra Desktop using which even free users can d/l n send mails but IMO its pathetic and a pain in the *** ...

And Google servers are all over the place where as Yahoo has lesser number of server farms and they are concentrated at ajor hubs unlike Google who has their server farms all over the world and thats what makes their search engine faster and their e-mail service more effecient and causes less delays.

Yea u can use multiple accounts to access it.

Hotmail , like yahoo does not provide free email downloading/sending unless u have a Hotmail Plus Account.

I've heard users who created account b4 2006 can access it free, but i'm not sure.

Has anybody tried accessing these services through thunderbird ? It seems to have extensions for many email services. I wonder if they work for free accounts.

Back to topic...

1. Outlook can be configured to download/send mails from any mail server. This type of configuration is called as POP3. But to configure POP3, the POP3 port (110) and SMTP port (25) need to be opened on the source server.

2. Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. used to have these ports open in the past but closed it about 5/6 years ago. This is because, if POP3 is allowed, users can get a single mail client to work on for their official and personal mails. One would then rarely visit the Yahoo or Hotmail site for checking mails. This will cause traffic to decline on the mail serveres and consequently ad's will stop and revenue will be affected. Hence they introduced the facility for premium (paying) users only.

3. Google was a late entrant into the e-mail space. They are keeping such facilities open because they want more users and they do not depend upon ad revenue from mail page. Hence gMail interface is much cleaner.

4. But just as it is very difficult to change your telephone number, it is extremely difficult to change e-mail address. Hotmail was the first free web-based email service. It has therefore the maximum subscriber base. Yahoo came a year later. There are others such as AOL too. Google Mail arrived in early 2000's. Initially it was by invitation only. People who started using web based email services very early, have multiple accounts but their primary mail remains on Hotmail/Yahoo/AOL.
