[trigger_my_passion]

If any one wants, I shall post a guide on signing up for a 1 GB Yahoo! mail account.

login id would be @yahoo.com.cn

Inbox Language: english

POP access (supposed to, but not working for me - haven't double checked the options)

Let me know.

[JohnO]

post please

where do we go?

[vassie]

I would imagine here http://cn.mail.yahoo.com/ would be a good place to start, click the big green button, then the orange one, to make it easier from there, use http://babelfish.altavista.com/ ;)

Based on: http://cristi.100free.com/e-mail.htm [source for this link: emailaddresses.com forum post]

1. Go to http://cn.mail.yahoo.com/.

2. Click on the blue button

3. Enter your desired username and press the button at the bottom. If the username is already taken, you will see text in red at the top. Keep trying until you come up w/ one that's not already taken.

4. Follow the pic

A: Check the available options here.

B: Enter any zip code from this page.

Click the button at the bottom.

5. You should be taken to a page having two buttons to choose from. Click the right one (that has 1000M on it). [in my case, I got a page where I had to enter my chosen password twice and the image verification code again, am guessing it was so since I haven't clicked on the button in the earlier step for a long time as I was taking screenshot and adding text on the pic]

6. Log in to yahoo messenger using your newly created yahoo id and add one of your friends who's currently online to your friends list. Make sure he/she adds you as well and exchange a message or two.

7. http://cn.mail.yahoo.com/event/mail_1g/1gb_06.htm should have popped up already. If not, go there. Click on the bottom yellow button that has 1G on it. You should see:

If you don't get the page w/ the above pic and are using Opera, switch to IE to continue (only till the end of this tutorial). I haven't tested in Firefox.

8. You now have a 1 GB yahoo inbox, but it's in chinese. To set the language to english:

a. Log in to your account at http://mail.yahoo.com. Click on Options (It's to the right below your account name)

b. Click on the last link at the left to edit your profile. Enter your password to continue.

c. Click on the first of two 'Edit' buttons.

d. Click on the link at the bottom (see the screenshot below):

e. Choose the 1st one in the drop down menu. Press the first button.

f. Press 'I Accept'. Click 'Finished'.

g. Log out and log back in.

9. For POP3 access:

a. Click 'Mail Options' at the top right.

b. Under 'Management', click on 'POP Access and Forwarding'.

c. Review the options, click on 'POP Settings' and press 'Save'.

Now you should be able to use your mail client and access this account. (I tried in MS outlook 2003, was about to send messages fine, but not retrieve. I am not sure if this is the case w/ just me or everyone else.)

or gmail?

Nice - but I wonder why Yahoo can't offer this for all it's users - not just Chinese?

Gmail has no pop. And it's still a BETA product. Yahoo is not a BETA product. :p

Did you try checking if POP3 is working w/ your Yahoo! .cn account (assuming you signed up)?

BTW, you have http://spymac.com offering 1 GB account w/ POP3.
