It costs money to get your Yahoo mail using anything other than their web interface. But FWIW the servers are pop.mail.yahoo.com/imap.mail.yahoo.com/smtp.mail.yahoo.com

What about you'd check on the site itself?

Hotmail is using another "protocol" which many email client programs can't work.



BUT



You can download a freeware plugin (httpmail plugin 1.35) from Versiontracker which allows you to use MAIL for Hotmail

mattjohndrow

but why would i do that?

Why even use HoTMaiL? Ick.

I don't use hotmail either



But my brother does. And he's so freaked out about the inability to download attachement from hotmail using Safari. I then set up Mail with the hotmail plug in to view emails....and works pretty well.
