Is that different from web based mail? Thanks for any help.

I would be happy to explain more. POP or Post Office Protocol is a common method that people use to read their e-mail. Outlook, Outlook Express, and Eudora are all POP mail clients. Some web based email providers do not allow you to connect via the pop protocol. With these sites any POP client is useless. Yahoo does allow you to connect via a pop server if you enable that feature. If you have a mail account at Yahoo you can use pop.mail.yahoo.com as your pop server. I hope this clears some things up.
