Ok, So I'm not sure I understand this... I've written in all the details, except Email server, as I'm not sure what to write?

I thought maybe it was the website, so I typed that in and tested the settings, and it seemed to check for a longer time than usual, but still said it couldnt do it!

Please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

What email are you trying to put. Ask about the Mail Server from your email provider. Also make sure you email provides POP3 services .

Well I have another hotmail account I'd like to add, and a yahoo account?

What do I actually enter in the Email server section?

you cant use hotamil because it doesnt support POP3 ... im not sure about yahoo though

Oh.. Well I guess that sucks! How do I find out if yahoo supports POP3?

Have a look at some help section on yahoo http://help.yahoo.com/mail/pop/pop-06.html

Btw, hotmail can let you have your email in outlook or outlook express, you just have to pay for it.  Otherwise you can only view it on the net in your browser.

?I've looked at that site, and tried to follow the steps adjusting it to MsgPlus, but it still doesnt work...

Bad news.

Yahoo! Mail users can read their email in Outlook by subscribing to the Yahoo! Mail Plus service. This service allows you to use Outlook or another POP3 client to access and manage your Yahoo! Mail messages.

Thats a list of free pop3 providers

p.s: Gmail is beta you will need an invite i willsend you one if you want.

Hotmail does not have POP3 support, also not for the Paid version. The paid version has WebDAV support. Which is supported by Outlook but not by Plus!

Okay so you're supposed to pay for pop3 support with hotmail but I use it just fine with msg plus. My dad uses it fine with outlook as well. Neither of us pay ffor it.

Anyway Yahoo does support pop3, I was trying to set up a yahoo account to work with msg plus but I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone else have it working?

Hotmail HAS no pop3! lol

Not what I mean't
I meant that through Messenger Plus I can set it up so that it recieves e-mails from my other hotmail account.

I'm trying to set my gmail account to go through Plus! but it doesn't seem to be working. I followed that link that was posted earlier using the server "pop.gmail.com" but I still get the error message that my settings are incorrect or have been refused. (I'm using the port 995 as also suggested)
Can someone give me a hand here?

EDIT: I got it to work using the server "smtp.gmail.com" and the port 465.

There is some program that you put in you email + password then it checks you mail for you and if you have new mail it will redirect it to you current account.

But dont download just any program, look for safe ones

That has nothing to do with setting it up through Messenger Plus...
I'm trying to set up a yahoo account so that when I get new e-mails it picks it up in Messenger Plus and lets me know that I have e-mails.

If it's actually possible to do this let me know please =)

In order to check mail with Plus! those accounts need to support pop3. You can check wether or not that account does in that account itself either in help or in settings. You will also find every possible setting you need inthere (servername, port etc.).

Thanks, I checked the yahoo site and I couldn't get their settings to work for some reason

Hopefully this will help or at least help people trying to get Gmail to work... this is what i had to do to get Gmail to work with plus and i believe it will be simular for yahoo(i have a yahoo account so i will try to get that to work asap)!

basically the "E-mail server" is the most important as its telling it where to look for emails and the "e-mail client" down the very bottom is where you go when you click the message that comes up in the bottom right corner of the screen! the user name and password is obviously your user name and password!!!!

(please correct me if i have gotton ANY of this wrong)
~(but im allways right so dont worry!!!)~
EDIT: umm... yer! i think if you actually have a little look on the yahoo website you will see its not possible.....
"Can I use Netscape, Eudora, or Outlook to send and read my Yahoo! Mail?
Yes! Yahoo! Mail users can read their Yahoo! Mail messages in Netscape, Eudora, or Outlook by subscribing to the Yahoo! Mail Plus service. This service allows you to use Outlook, Eudora, or another POP3 client to access and manage your Yahoo! Mail"

however... if you were to pay the settings would be somewhere along the lines of:


I suppose you want to now know if it is possible to have a hotmail account using pop3 on plus!....!
... looking on the hotmail website where you create an account i do belive it says somewhere that pop emailing is not support on their free service.... however as it says further up where someone was able to use there hotmail through plus!... using pop3!!!!... this i belive may be because they have an older acount which since they have had the account for so long the have been given special rights...... well i have had my account for a while and i get 1gb storage yet i dont pay.... yet if you try to create a  new account you will only get 250mb(250mb is not your right either as hotmail clearly states down the bottom in small writing!!!!)

Basiclly if you wont an account for free where you have access to pop3 then use gmail.com ..... its really your only option plus your get 2gb storage... gmail is deffinently the best free email provider that i know of(in my opion of course!)

I hope this has been helpful!

If you need any help email me.... watzels@(whicheva you wish)......prefferable not yahoo as i may never check it!
