Way to check several email addresses at once?

I would advise against you using any web based account to collect/reply all of your mails, because if that one is compromised then it could mean all of them are then compromised. Forwarding is one option if available but why not use Thunderbird, it's free and I use it for all my many accounts, and set up filters on each one to sort spam, specific senders, and the rest to go to a local inbox including setting up tags so I can see which box it came from.

I don't know if this is aimed at me, , to clarify, I have one specific Gmail addy which collects all the carp from my unimportant accounts.

I then use Thunderbird to collect from 4 Gmail addresses, to do much the same as you using imap.

It just means all the unimportant stuff is kept together.

Hi

Just downloaded thunderbird, and put in all my email addresses, then clicked get mail, but I just keep getting this error message:

Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded: invalid user/password

A hotmail address has worked fine though, it has found the emails.

Double check your all your settings, obviously,

IIRC some Yahoo accounts are awkward (?).

Scroll down to Thunderbird 3

Have got a yahoo.com account or yahoo.co.uk

mine is set like this in server settings
server name - pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk port 110
user name - "well-that-would-be-telling" ie your name on yahoo

No, still not working. It won't let me import my rocketmail or yahoo ones.

I use Webmail Notifier extension for Firefox and wouldn't be without it. Checks all my emails, mainly gmail with a few old hotmail and yahoo accounts but can check pop3, AOL and other accounts too.

Easy to check and easy to reply to emails as they arrive.

I have thunderbird installed but until I start using encryption, very soon, then I don't use it as the browser is less trouble.

I used to make a note of settings used, and which worked, and my old ones for a yahoo.co.uk are the same as in the link I gave,

pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk 995 ssl
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk 465 ssl

And the user name needs the @yahoo.co.uk after it.
