I thought POP3 only worked if there is a client program on my computer, such as Outlook Express which I don't use.

From att/yahoo:
POP Access and Forwarding
Use AT&T Yahoo! as your permanent email address. Forward to another mail account, or download your AT&T Yahoo! messages to your POP3 mail client.


So, if I set up another email address (for instance, me@gmail.com), I can load the whole kit and kaboodle in one fell swoop to gmail WITHOUT Outlook Express in the middle?

I'm feeling so ancient . . .
