CANT GET Courier email software to connect to yahoo to get my mail from there
OK, we are getting closer, but you still lack major details. Do you have a Yahoo account? Or is this an account with your local ISP. Yahoo is web mail, and unless you pay for a premium service, a program like Courier cannot download your mail. Courier is a pop3 mail client. That means that you have to give it the information about the pop3 server, such as pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com, or something like that. It then goes out to the server and pulls the mail off. So, I ask you again, how do you normally get your mail, and what are you trying to do? Web mail is reached by a browser, and stays on the Yahoo server. Do you understand this? If not, then you will not be able to configure Courier. So, we need much more information from you.

I have a yahoo mail free account ,and a hot mail free account,
MY provider is earthlink that email works with Courier .
Now i have yahoo and hot mail in here but it dont show them as such. it keeps trying to connect to yahoo and hot mail
How do i get them out,It dont really show them as being in Courier
Should i reinstall Courier and just put in my Earth link email that works
so Courier wont keep trying to connect to yahoo and hot mail.
I go to all my emails on the browser Like i can go to earthlink which is my provider email,and i go to yahoo the free email and hot mail the other free email i have,
Courier connect to earthlink email fine
I had a program one time that would connect to yahoo and hot mail and earthlink email. it was called pop peeper.
yahoo change how their mail works,i guess so you cant get their mail unless
you go direct to their web site.
OK, now we are getting somewhere. Your hotmail and yahoo accounts are web mail accounts. You can't get them with Courier. It is possible to get to them with some extensions if you use Thunderbird, which is a different email client. But you can't do this with Courier. If you want to delete the accounts, look at the left Courier window. There are icons there like address book and inbox. One of the icons is "Accounts". Open that. Click on the account for yahoo, for example, and delete it. It will be gone.
I do not know of any third party plug-in for Courier that will allow you to pull down web mail. But you could try Thunderbird from Mozilla. It is free, and there are thousands of extensions written to do things such as pull down web mail.
I recently ran across YPOPs!, but have not tried it. It's a free app that let's you use a POP email client to access Yahoo mail. Their website lists instructions on how to configure Calypso 3.x, the name of Courier before Rose City Software took it over.
