TICKET ARCHIVE -> How to Download From My Hotmail And Yahoo Mail Account

Kam Hong - Jul 4, 2005 - 10:03 am

I have an iMac5 OS X at home but uses Windows PC in office. My office mails are in Hotmail and Yahoo accounts.

Please guide me to complete the fields 'incoming mail server and outgoing mail server' for both my mails in my iMac5 so that I can read my mails and send photos from my iPhoto via Hotmail and Yahoo.

My email addresses are:

paulkhyip@yahoo.com.my
and
back2roots2004@hotmail.com ( a Hotmail Plus subscription account)

Looking forward to your support.

About Yahoo account:

Having said that, if you have a US Yahoo email account, you need to upgrade it to Yahoo! Mail Plus in order to get POP access

I do not have a Hotmail account -> repool to complete the question

Thank you Philippe, I believe your answer means that I can't configure the non-Yahoo Plus account into my iMac. Right?

I'am afraid not.
The most incredible with Yahoo is that my yahoo.fr account can be used with my Maill.app without going up to a "Plus" account.
I never found why !

About hotmail, i found this site which speaks about a plug-in for Mail to retrieve Hotmail account

You can have a look to it
Post back if this plug in works
