YahooPOPs! 0.46 As you may know, Yahoo! Mail disabled free access to its POP3 service in April 2002. The result? Many people began looking for alternative free POP3 services. YahooPOPs! is an open-source initiative to provide free POP3 access to your Yahoo! Mail account. It emulates a POP3 server and enables popular email clients to download email from Yahoo! accounts. It acts like a gateway, providing a POP3 server interface at one end to talk to email clients and an HTTP client interface at the other which allows it to talk to Yahoo!. Windows and Unix versions are available.
