re: need hassle free mail server Saturday, September 6, 2008 at 7:56 am Posted by Johnb33 (1622 messages posted) Since yahoo is web-based email, that feature won't work anymore. you actually have to go to yahoo mail and attach the pictures. Or you will have to utilize your email account through your ISP and use either Outlook or Outlook Express to be able to go back to using that feature.

All the ones I know of allow the use of e-mail clients like Outlook, as well as web browsers, and that includes Yahoo mail. Most ISPs these days block the usual SMTP port (port 25) so yahoo allows you to use another one.

In the future, please limit your posts to XP related issues. Anyway, an email client is a program like Outlook Express, that you use to download your emails to once it's configured to the server. As of several years ago, Yahoo requires that you have a paid email acct. in order to access with an email program. However, there's an open source program that'll work with a free Yahoo acct., called YPops! Just Google for a download.

Yahoo and Hotmail, i.e. Windows Live are web based email servers. You can't use a free Yahoo email acct. with an email client, without a third party program installed and running... as of several years ago. --"Most ISPs these days block the usual SMTP port (port 25)" My ISP, Verizon, uses port 25, so I don't know where you get your misleading info.

It's not a free account. ISPs allow you to send them mail via port 25 but many of them don't allow traffic using port 25 to get past them to the rest of the internet. It's an anti-spam thing. So to use mail servers other than the ISP server you need to use other than port 25.
