Dear Friends,

I plan to buy yahoo mail so that i can use it with my mail client.

When i try to pay through credit card it says invalid number and is not accepting payment. Mine is an international card and i checked with the bank about the status of card about internatinal payment and it is found ok.

has any body else has tried to buy yahoo mail from india? Do they have any india office where i can send the payment and get activated?

Thanks and Regards

B.Shivaranjan

Why do you want to buy Yahoo mail? Any specific reasons?

How much are you paying?

I feel there could be better options than that.

Yahoo stopped free POP3 access long ago. If you still want to use POP3 access, you have to either pay or use YahooPOPs. But YahooPOPs is erroneous and I am sure Yahoo will ensure that it remains erroneous by changing the code of its site.

I feel, if you are ready to pay so much for yahoo mail, it will be better to book your own domain and host it. Then you can also have multiple forwarding accounts. But of course, you will not have 1 GB of space at that price.

But even gmail offers free POP3 with more than 2 GB!!

Not possible, my yahoo account is pre-1997 and it lost pop3 priviliges long time back. Infact the longest pop3 account was given by usa.net (wonder what happened to this e-mail service)

Yahoo e-mail service for free is the best .............the paid service is not very expensive but not that worth it either!!!

sending attachments by GMail is an ordeal ... esp. .exe.attachments ....

It doesnt allow .exe files to be sent thru its network ......

i think ...according to GMail all .EXEs are viruses ... h eh h he

conclusion: VB6 and VB.NET projects cannot be sent .....and GMail doesnt have an antivirus installed !!!


yahoo is still the best Free e-mail service provider ...... yahooPOPs works fine for me .....

dude...y do u wanna pay for yahoo? if u basically want pop access wit yahoo...then its possible to get it for free, even without a third party program. i have a yahoo account (.co.in) and i have free pop access for pop and smtp (pop.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com). if u wanna kno how 2 enable it, its quite simple...u can figure it out or ask me...but i dunno if it'll work wit a .com yahoo id. u can still try it out if u want...lemme kno

peace

paying for an email account ? its a waste of money.

go for gmail or hotmail. hotmail is also upgrading its storage capacity and it has free pop 3 access.

Initially I was using hotpop and then got my own domain due to attachment restrictions. I think instead of spending money on yahoo pop u can get a domain and hosting.

My hoster gives unlimited pop mail accounts without any attachment limits.
