Dave,
Thanks. I don't know if something's changed now. If someone knows how
to set the pop prefs or whatever maybe I could get it going. Agent
shouldn't have any trouble as long as you know the details for what
you're using.
There were a bunch of newsgroup postings about it by people who
sounded knowledgeable. They seemed to say that the $19.95 (yearly?)
account has everything, and there was some other weird free method
which involved agreeing to receive two simple spam type offers which
you could ignore or something. The Yahoo mail help had a section for
setting up external mail, but the instructions referred to a link
button which doesn't appear on my page (the first few instructions
were valid). It looked like it was all for Yahoo Mail "Plus" or
something.
It's no biggie. It could all just be that my chosen contact here is
the Yahoo address. Perhaps I can look into adding an alternate non-
Yahoo email to my Yahoo account and using that for the group?? Like
most of you, my main primary is through my ISP, but I'm careful not to
use that on the web,etc. I can probably get a second one.
-Take Care
