Get YahooPOPs (yahoopops.sourceforge.net). Outlook, any version, does
not support screen scraping of other webmail providers's pages.

You don't divert anything. YahooPOPs is not some service you subscribe
to to forward your e-mails. You pull you e-mail through YahooPOPs from
Yahoo. YahooPOPs runs as a local (i.e., on YOUR computer) POP3-to-HTTP
protocol converter proxy. It talks POP3 to your e-mail client and talks
HTTP to Yahoo's webmail site. You define a POP3 account in your e-mail
client that has it connect to YahooPOPs (and YahooPOPs does the rest to
yank your e-mails from Yahoo).

You could also use YahooPOPs to send your e-mails so they go through
your Yahoo account (just as if you used their webmail interface via
browser). Then your outbound e-mails originate from the same domain as
where you receive e-mails. However, outbound e-mails sent from Yahoo
(whether using YahooPOPs or their webmail interface via browser) has
Yahoo appending their damn self-promotional signature onto your outbound
e-mails which is very immature looking. I prefer not to spam my e-mail
recipients. Instead I use my ISP's SMTP server for outbound e-mails.
Below are the possible paths for receiving and sending e-mail. The IP
protocols used are shown in parenthesis. Any POP3 capable e-mail client
can be used with YahooPOPs.

Inbound Yahoo account e-mails:

e-mail client (POP3) <-- (POP3) YahooPOPs (HTTP) <-- Yahoo

Inbound ISP account e-mails:

e-mail client (POP3) <-- (POP3) ISP's POP3 server

Outbound e-mail via ISP:

e-mail client (SMTP) --> (SMTP) ISP's SMTP server

Outbound e-mail via YahooPOPs to Yahoo:

e-mail client (SMTP) --> (SMTP) YahooPOPs (HTTP) --> (HTTP) Yahoo

The instructions at yahoopops.sourceforge.net tell you how to setup your
e-mail client. Even if your e-mail client isn't listed, the
instructions for Outlook [Express] apply to most e-mail clients.
 
Look on the Yahoo support pages for the SMTP and POP3
settings , then go into Outlook and tools and e-mail
accounts and set it up.

Works only if you have paid Yahoo for the premium service(s) to allow
access to their POP3 and SMTP servers. I hear Yahoo UK and Yahoo AU
still provide POP3 and SMTP servers for free but you're screwed for
other Yahoo domains.

I'm still anxiously awaiting when Yahoo will up the quota on their
freebie accounts to 100MB (http://snipurl.com/yahoo_100MB). Hopefully
YahooPOPs can be easily modified to screen scrape Google's 1000MB Gmail
webmail service so, as with YahooPOPs with Yahoo, I don't have to look
at those profiled (targeted) ads on their web pages.
