Email program

[Kooldino]

Anyone know of a secure, free, email program that can check web based mails such as hotmail and yahoo mail?

Outlook express can check hotmail. Security is another thing...

Yahoo = no free pop3 access. However you can access it through WAP on your cell phone.

Hotmail = Outlook as GNEP said. Security: basic stuff applies (spam filtering, not opening attachments or downloading them through browser, latest patches...)

Yup. My emphasis has definitely moved from finding a web-based email account that I can interface to using a normal email program to making sure that my POP3 email has a webmail interface. Usually worth checking with your ISP if they offer this - sometimes they don't tell you they do, but quite a few do these days in the UK.

Clear?

JMA Software is selling Web2Pop for pretty cheap (20$ if I remember).

it will interface with tons of HTTP based services (notably Yahoo and Hotmail). Updates are free and it works pretty well. I've been using it for quite a while now and couldn't find another to best it.

AHh, so it will allow me to use a standard POP client and it just tricks it into thinking the HTTP mail is POP?

Well for those interested....www.mail2web.com lets you access your POP3 account online if you ISP doesnt offer a webmail based client or even if it does. I know that ATT worldnet doesnt work with mail2web.com, but they offer a web mail option.
