Thunderbird, absolutely, using 2 extensions - WebMail and Yahoo for WebMail for Yahoo and AOL for WebMail for AOL.

They also have an add-on that supports using GMail, but GMail actually allows POP access natively, you just have to go into the options and enable it, and then set up your GMail account in your client. This will work for any client that allows for Secure POP and Secure SMTP.

Cannot answer for other mail clients, though I do know that there is some software out there (YahooPOPS?) that allows you to grab Yahoo mail in most clients - but that requires running software in addition to other mail clients.

thank you that did helped and i found out how to get hotmail downloaded as well in another post here but my question was how is it possible that i can have all of them in one inbox and when i try to send email i will have option from which email address i would like to send it from

Well, the easiest way is to create separate accounts for each account, but have it download everything to the same inbox.

When you go to reply to an email, in the new window there is a drop down list allowing you to change the "from", IOW the account you want to use.

Also, doing that will *usually* select the appropriate outgoing server as well - but only if you have set up individual outgoing servers for each account. Otherwise it will use your default outgoing server.

I have my GMail accounts using GMail's servers, HoTMaiL accounts using HoTMaiL outgoing servers (well, really, the outgoing server on my machine itself, through the WebMail addon, which then sends it through HoTMaiL), same with Yahoo, my ISP, etc....So, later on down the road you don't get an email from my GMail address coming from my ISP servers, etc.

Hey John Galt can you help me with my problem?

 

[johngalt]

I can sure try, but it helps to know what the problem is first - a mind reader I am not :P

Your post has nothing to do with *outlook* - so I moved it to the appropriate forum.

Please respect the rules and post in appropriate places only.
