Yes, I set it up for my brother's girlfriend. You have to enable pop3 in your webmail account settings first and the server details should be on the yahoo site somewhere.

When I go into the options, it says I need to upgrade my account....no thanks

Its free to do so you must be doing something wrong unless it means upgrade the way yahoo looks, its the new interface.

Its not mail upgrades its Options, Pop Access and forwarding, save changes.

Do you have a yahoo.com or a yahoo.co.uk account?

Espresso - what is the difference between the .com or .co.uk account?

espresso

POP3 will definitely work on the .co.uk without paying extra.

Now this depends on whether you got your yahoo account through BT, if you did and you no longer use BT as your ISP then you will get Yahoo mail called basic mail and you will have to pay for an upgrade or just set up a new yahoo e-mail with a new name.
