Thanks!
The gmail tip works great and this yahoo related comment sounds really interesting.
Ive been missing mail client access to my yahoo account for a long time now, and picking up some mails very late as a result. Is there any chance you could share your fetchmail conf file that works with yahoo/FreePOPs? Thanks in advance
Details on my setup
FreePOPs is really easy to configure, actually. In fact, I didn't configure anything. I start FreePOPs with this in a StartupItem file:
And I have this in my fetchmailrc file:
Where USERNAME is my yahoo user name, PASSWORD is my password for that yahoo email account and mylocalusername is the short name of my OS X account. I don't actually use the loopback IP address of 127.0.0.1 as I have NetInfo configured to recognize an internal domain name that's mapped to my computers local IP address. But I believe 127.0.0.1 should work fine.
If you are not using fetchmail to pull your email down to a local running SMTP server, you can configure you email client of choice with similar settings. Examples can be found here |
