Gmail & Yahoo mails through Outlook Express ?

[Muslim Woman]

I want to get my g & yahoo mails through Outlook Express. Is that possible ?

 

[Javba]

Yes it is possible. You need to pay Yahoo for that level of access (then you will have the "POP" mail access info needed)
Gmail on the other hand is free for that kind of access. Please refer to their help pages for setting this up.
I am not more knowledgeable in this matter than this.
