When I signed up for my Yahoo account around 3yrs ago I was quite new to the net and was in Yahoo Europe. The address is .ie not .uk or .com. When Yahoo decided to do away with POP access on the free accounts I was somehow grandfathered in and have been able to POP the account every since. (Knock on wood) I have no problem using OE to retrieve mail, as I stated it's something with MailWasher. When it (MailWasher) hits an email with a attachment is when the error occurs. It happens everytime I use MailWasher, the message will show rated (regular, possibly spam, blacklisted) shows the date and size but the subject line is blank. I even unchecked the option to check against DNS name Blacklisted servers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "~OoO~" <SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2003 9:54 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Need help with MailWasher (Free) Problem > Just something that's sometimes overlooked... if you're using the free Yahoo mail account, there is no POP access... you aware of that?
