evolution + yahoo
what do i use for the
host send and host receive if i want to use yahoo or msn also i hear that msn dosn't work with evolution but will it work w\ kmail or other. |
yahoo:
- the free email subs is not accessible via email client (well, before, yahoo offered free pop access). either u upgrade to a another yahoo subscription or google.com/linux for YoSucker - i've used that before - only for retrieval. the documentation for that utility is easy to understand (u can post back if u need some help. MSN - nope. u can't access it 'directly' with any linux email client (like the yahoo situation). check sourceforge for a third party tool. I remember last year that somebody posted a fetchmail script to do this (send and rcv) but i think MSN did some changes to their setup making the script obsolete. hth |
i went to source fourge and found yahoo pop but i don't think it works because i use the yahoopop exe and it dose nothing and i did everything it said to do
will any of the email clients that come with redhat work with any of the other free email services. |
search google.com for 'free pop mail'. i've tried hotpop.com.
try YoSucker for Yahoo email: http://freshmeat.net/projects/yosuck...pic_id=32%2C28 or gotmail for hotmail accounts: http://linux.cudeso.be/linuxdoc/gotmail.php |
what do i use for the "host" option
|
HOST=mail.yahoo.com
here's my config file (no ssl login) <Connect Info> HOST=mail.yahoo.com </Connect> <Login Details> USERNAME=xwangbu # Your Yahoo password - must be encrypted # (use EncPasswd utility to encrypt it) # it's under bin/ of the YoSucker folder - copy the output # YoSucker-pr25a/bin/EncPasswd # if prompted for ur passwd, enter ur yahoo pass # then copy the enrcypted output PASSWD=8479032740805840842304 SSL=0 </Login> <Check Method> FASTCHECK=0 </Check> <Fetch Mail> BOX=Inbox # this, change to ur spool file OUTFILE=/var/mail/xwangbu PIPE=0 LEAVE=1 TRASH=1 LIMIT=55 </Fetch> <Proxy Settings> PROXY=proxy.pacific.net.ph # Set your proxy port PROXY_PORT=8080 # Set your proxy username # Sorry, this feature has not yet been implemented # PROXY_USER=your_proxy_username # Set proxy password # Sorry, this feature has not yet been implemented # PROXY_PASS=XXXXXXXXX </Proxy> <Other> # Select how much should Yo!Sucker show # Options: quiet = 0, normal = 1 DEBUG=1 # Choose an action (i.e. a command to execute when new mail arrives # ON_NEWMAIL="command attributes" # This command will be executed when YoSucker finds no new incomming messages # ON_NO_MAIL="command attributes" </Other> <Lethal Options> CLEAN=0 </Lethal> #************ now, using evolution, create a new account and set ur incoming options to local mail delivery. |
