Yes! You sure can. With Yahoo!7 Mail, you can retrieve messages from most external email accounts. Outlook, Eudora, or Netscape Mail inboxes are all accessible from Yahoo!7 Mail after following the brief set-up procedure below. And with Yahoo!7 Mail, you can also send from Yahoo!7 Mail, and the email will appear to be from the other account. It's a convenient way to do all your emailing from one place.

To complete the process, you'll need to find out the mail server name for each account you wish to add. This is the only step that requires anything more than clicking or typing—it requires a conversation. To get this information, talk to either the Internet Service Provider you use to connect to the Internet, or the Network Administrator who controls the system at your work or school. Verify with them that it's a POP server, because only POP servers are supported at this time. Yep, P-O-P—they'll know what you mean. (It stands for Post Office Protocol.) Your conversation should go somthing like this

You can either add an account with Yahoo!7 Mail's automatic delivery settings, or you can add an account and manually set the delivery options yourself. Delivery options include choosing the Yahoo!7 Mail folder you want new messages to go into and deciding whether or not emails in the other accounts should stay in those other Inboxes after you read them in Yahoo!7 Mail. You can also choose to get either all your messages from the other account, or only the new ones. Finally, you can apply your Yahoo!7 Yahoo! filters to that other mail, if you want.

Use the first set of instructions to get Yahoo!'s automatic settings. Use the second instructions if you want to manually set the delivery options.
