Some services may require a subscription for this type of access. I don't know the procedure but for using thunderbird with yahoo you have to spend bucks.
Here is how:
- Install YPOPs! and make sure it is running.
- Select Tools | Account Settings... from the menu in Mozilla Thunderbird.
- Click Add Account....
- Make sure Email account is selected.
- Click Continue.
- Enter your name under Your Name:.
- Type your Yahoo! Mail address ("example@yahoo.com", for example) under Email Address:.
- Click Continue.
- Make sure POP is selected under Select the type of incoming server you are using..
- Type "localhost" under Incoming Server:.
o If you use Windows Vista or run into troubles later, try using "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost".- Click Continue.
- Enter your Yahoo! Mail user name (e.g. "example") under Incoming User Name:.
o Mozilla Thunderbird should already have entered that for you.- Click Continue.
- Type a name for your new Yahoo! Mail account under Account Name: (e.g. "Yahoo! Mail").
- Click Continue.
- Now click Done.
To make sure we can send mail in addition to receiving it (and optionally have a copy of all send messages stored in Yahoo! Mail's online Sent folder):
- Highlight Outgoing Server (SMTP) in the list of account on the left.
- Click Add....
- Type "localhost" under Server Name:.
o If you use Windows Vista or run into troubles later, again try using "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost".- Make sure Use name and password is checked.
- Type your Yahoo! Mail user name under User Name:.
- Click OK.
- Highlight the Yahoo! Mail account we created before.
- Under Outgoing Server (SMTP):, make sure localhost is selected.
- Click OK.
