I like to use E-mail boxes with a custom client as Outlook Express. Though I have two Yahoo E-mail boxes, I have never used them before. But I would likely use them because I find a way how to open Yahoo E-mail POP function free. Now I am telling how to do.
Firstly, you should log onto your E-mail account. Copy the following address to your browser address blanket and press Enter key to open a new page. Pay attention that you should change the part “username” to your own username.
http://edit.my.yahoo.com/config/set_popfwd?.src=ym&done=http://cn.username.mail.com/
Such as:
http://edit.my.yahoo.com/config/set_popfwd?.src=ym&done=http://cn.abdhk.mail.com/
首先，你要登陆你的中文雅虎帐户。将下面的地址（“用户名”要换成你的用户名）直接复制到你的浏览器地址栏打开。
http://edit.my.yahoo.com/config/set_popfwd?.src=ym&done=http://cn.用户名.mail.com/
如：http://edit.my.yahoo.com/config/set_popfwd?.src=ym&done=http://cn.abdhk.mail.com/
Then you can see the new page with Chinese words as the following picture shows.
You must choose “是” and press the “确认” button at the bottom of this page to continue and you can see a new page as follows.
Then you should choose “网上阅读邮件和POP功能” and press “提交” button to continue. At last, you can see the final page telling you how to configure the custom client to receive and send letters with your Yahoo account.
Here you should pay attention to the smtp server address. The given address is with no use. You can change it to its server address in US of smtp.mail.yahoo.com. Of course, you can change to another server such as smtp.163.com and so on if you have such an E-mail account. Other configurations are as same as Gmail account. Good luck!
在配置客户端时，你应当大体上注意以下几个方面：
① SMTP服务器可以填写：smtp.mail.yahoo.com（雅虎公布的smtp.mail.yahoo.com.cn没用！），当然也可以填写其他你已经拥有邮箱的其他smtp服务器，如：smtp.163.com等
POP3服务器填写：pop.mail.yahoo.com.cn 就可以了
② POP3邮箱帐号一定写邮箱全称，如：xxx@yahoo.cn（仅用户名没用，因为雅虎要区分是@yahoo.cn还是@yahoo.com.cn用户）
③ 密码：输入你的帐号密码
④ 一定要选中：“SMTP服务器需要身份验证”
⑤ 如果SMTP服务器填写的是smtp.mail.yahoo.com，则SMTP服务器端口应该选择：465；选中“此服务器需求安全连接（SSL）”
POP3服务器端口：995；选中“此服务器需求安全连接（SSL）”
