How to Download Your Free Yahoo! Email Service Into Ms Outlook

As we all know, Yahoo free email service does not have POP3 feature to download email messages to clients’ computer disk. All email messages are saved in Yahoo server, in which it is difficult for us to read them while the internet is off. Yahoo POP3 feature can only be applied by those who pay for that.


However, for those of you who have free Yahoo email need not to be thwarted. If you are lucky, you can still apply this Yahoo POP3 feature, free. Why I said lucky, because for emails registered in 2010, you can not apply this feature (I have tried but it is useless). One thing for sure, email registered before 2010 can still apply free Yahoo POP3 feature.

Follow these steps carefully and don’t get rush:
