    Am I tripping here? Yahoo mail wants to charge me for using mac's mail to get the mail from them. are you serious $20/year? i guess thats what you do when google runs shhhiiiiiiii!
    i found this link, but im feeling sketchy:
    How to Access Free Yahoo! Mail with Mac OS X Mail - About Email





    Also is there any way I can receive my email from my college email.
    1. http://student.ccc.edu/
    click log on
    2. address changes to https://studentmail.ccc.edu/1234567890/l
    1234567890 = random numbers
    i get a dialog box to enter my username and password login.
    3. address changes to https://studentmail.ccc.edu/w?.BQ.EI.ZMklRsw.EB3Ew.Co7uuT.BE.J

    any way i can set it up to work with mac mail?
    mac mail asks for incoming mail sever... account type? incoming mail server? no idea what to put in to make it work

    Yahoo mail plus service is the only way to legally access their pop mail server with a US account. You can't discuss illegal or unethical workarounds on the forum.

    Switch to google mail if you want free pop.

    Unless you have a provider who uses Yahoo like AT&T does.

    you'd need to ask your college... this is not an issue with Mac Mail, but the mail servers your trying to connect to. As long as they do IMAP or POP you can use Apple Mail fine
