Yahoo, MSN, & other email for Evolution

Wavz · 09-23-2004, 02:00 PM

Just wondering if anyone out there knows of a program for Linux that pulls your email from MSN, Yahoo, and other web based accounts. I have plugged these settings into Evolution to get my MSN mail but I think it is a pay per service.

POP3: pop3hot.com
SMTP: mx01.hotmail.com

From a company called Izymail Online. So Im just looking for a free solution. ANy takers on this one???

Gotmail, HotwayD and YahooPops. I think they are at Sourceforge or Freshmeat.

What settings do u use in mrpostman anyway to get the mail from yahoo to evolution ?

Here's the settings needed to get mail (hotmail, yahoo, or mail.com) into evolution

1. Add a new account
2. RECEIVING EMAIL screen, select SERVER TYPE to be POP.
3. HOST Field, will be your localhost:'MRPOSTMAN PORT' example I use 127.0.0.1:11110
4. USERNAME Field, will be your email address at either hotmail, yahoo, or mail.com.

If MRPOSTMAN is running on the system, then you should be able to receive mail from your WEBMAIL accounts.

I just heard that Microsoft is gonna do something really nice for using hotmail. Now they are going to start charging if you want to check your mail from a outlook or other client. So if you want to check your Hotmail you are now gonna have to do it at the hotmail webpage if you want to do it for free. What a bunch of nice people. Do you think this will effect mrpostman, Gotmail, HotwayD??? by the way MICROSOFT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
