What do you mean? Accessing yahoo through the web or downloading mail via POP, rather than having to log into the webpage? If it's the latter, you have to pay for that convienience to get an account upgrade.

You have to pay for yahoo pop mail but there are third party programs that will let you download mail as it were pop but you can not send mail.

YPOPs! is an application that provides POP3 access to Yahoo! Mail. It is available o*n the Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac platforms.


Yahoo! Mail disabled free access to its POP3 service o*n 24th April, 2002. This application emulates a POP3 server and enables popular email clients like Outlook, Netscape, Eudora, Mozilla, etc., to download email from Yahoo! accounts. We do not go against the license agreements of Yahoo! Mail. This application is completely legitimate and well within the realms of legal software.

How do we do it you ask? Well, this application is more like a gateway. It provides a POP3 server interface at o*ne end to talk to email clients and an HTTP client (browser) interface at the other which allows it to talk to Yahoo!
