How Yahoo mail works in terms of networking?
547348
Hmmm.  Not really understanding your question, but I'll take a stab at it...  Yahoo mail works via a web browser, which is an application.  The Application Layer is Layer 7 in the OSI Model.  The OSI, or Open System Interconnection, model defines a networking framework for implementing protocols in seven layers. Control is passed down from one layer to the next, starting at the application layer in one station, proceeding to the bottom layer, over the channel to the next station and back up the hierarchy to layer 7 on the destination computer. \n\nLayer 7 supports application and end-user processes. Communication partners are identified, quality of service is identified, user authentication and privacy are considered, and any constraints on data syntax are identified. Everything at this layer is application-specific. This layer provides application services for file transfers, e-mail, and other network software services. Telnet and FTP are applications that exist entirely in the application level. Tiered application architectures are part of this layer.

On the Internet, the network breaks an e-mail message into parts of a certain size in bytes. These are the packets. Each packet carries the information that will help it get to its destination -- the sender's IP address, the intended receiver's IP address, something that tells the network how many packets this e-mail message has been broken into and the number of this particular packet. The packets carry the data in the protocols that the Internet uses: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Each packet contains part of the body of your message. A typical packet contains perhaps 1,000 or 1,500 bytes. \n\nEach packet is then sent off to its destination by the best available route -- a route that might be taken by all the other packets in the message or by none of the other packets in the message. This makes the network more efficient. First, the network can balance the load across various pieces of equipment on a millisecond-by-millisecond basis. Second, if there is a problem with one piece of equipment in the network while a message is being transferred, packets can be routed around the problem, ensuring the delivery of the entire message.

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com (Port 110) \nOutgoing (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Port 25) \nAccount Name/Login Name: your Yahoo! ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com") \nEmail Address: your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., user@yahoo.com) \nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-10.html

Yahoo stopped the POP3 service some time ago forcing users to use the slow and full of ads web interface. Since then the programers have made a few POP3 emulators for all web based email services. The idea is that your Outlook (or the more secure ThunderBird) can connect to the POP3 emulator while the emulator fetches the web pages from your yahoo mail account parses and repacks them as POP3 message and serves them to your full-of-problems-virus-friendly Microsoft Outlook.\n\nThere is yahoopops and freepops that work with yahoo. freepops is the one with modules for almost every webmail service in the world including Yahoo, AOL, Netscape, Hotmail, etc. For yahoo they support these domains:\n@yahoo.ca\n @yahoo.co.in\n @yahoo.co.uk\n @yahoo.com\n @yahoo.com.ar\n @yahoo.com.cn\n @yahoo.com.tw\n @yahoo.de\n @yahoo.es\n @yahoo.it

If you are talking about receiving Yahoo mail then it depends on whether your email address ends in .com or .co.uk.\n\nIf it ends in .co.uk then I think the settings are:\n\nmail.yahoo.co.uk for the pop3 address.  And smtp.yahoo.co.uk for the smtp address.\n\nYou will not need http info if my memory serves me.\n\nAlso, you will need to enter your Yahoo ID and password for it to work...\n\nIf it is for another service, then it depends.  The settings are different for each service.\n\nHotmail is the easiest to set up in OE, because the settings for it are already there...

Ok... First lets explain how mail work.\n\nWhen you send an email your message is send from your computer to a server on the internet (that's your email server, depending on which mail server you use) then this server will seek the recipient's server using the email adress you've provided. Once he found that server he will send the mail to that server through the internet. Once the mail arrived on the other server the recipient will retrieve his mail from that server. That's quite easy in theory, no ?\n\nIn reality when messages are exchanged from one server to another there may be many problems.\nSmall problems like overloaded networks (in this case your server can't send the mail to the other server so he will try again later) or the other server has crashed. Or there may be bigger problems : when I say your server sends the message to the other server in fact your message will go through a lot of servers before reaching the final server, if one of those servers bugs or crashs then your mail will be lost...\n\nIn fact I've read that 10% to 20% of email is lost... Due to bugs mainly.

web based email clients like Yahoo or Hotmail will update and refresh automatically ever minute or so.\n\nPC based clients like Outlook can be set to receive email every x minutes (1-60) and send email then or immediately - click \n\ntools\noptions\nmail set up\nsend and receive

Yes, unless your mail ends up being filtered as spam for some reason.  That is getting more and more likely.\n\nAnd you need to be aware that Yahoo! mail is often messed up -- the servers just can't seem to keep up -- and there may be a delay of up to a few days in delivering or receiving mail when sent from or to a Yahoo! address.\n\nSo, patience is called for!

You cant use pop and smtp for yahoo. Its a paid service for that option.\n\nIf its gmail, it would be pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com. \n\nPop is the incoming server, smtp  is the outgoing server.\n\nYou can also do it for hotmail, but yahoo its a paid service to get that setup and working. If you need further help step by step, then just contact me and I can try to help you.

Yea wht he said, just forward, To setup automatic e-mail forwarding in yahoo you have to pay yahoo. If you want to receive e-mail in her outlook your isp may have multiple mail accounts...just go to their website and ad a new account. Most isps dont charge for this.

However, try http://www.poppeeper.com \n(it's free!)\n\nI think it works ok for basic Yahoo receiving/sending, but possibly not for forwarding.\n\nAnyway, it's a great little program - I use it all the time for my mainly Pop3 emails .... hardly ever open a "real" email program any more!

Unfortuanely, it's not on the cpu. Your email is housed at Yahoo or whomever you've chosen as your mail carrier. It's an advantage to us because our mail will always be available to us even if we have to completly restore everything on the computer. Your Yahoo Messenger Friends List works the same way of course. Even if you delete Yahoo Messenger from your computer and then download it again, there's your friends list, back the same way it was.

You connect to International Yahoo! with your Internet Service Provider (ISP).\nTelkomnet?

set up outlook's smtp servers to yahoo's. that will allow outgoing mail to be sent through your yahoo account.\n\nmuch better though is not to use outlook at all and copy the link to the "to:" field of your regular email program by right-clicking on it. you have to delete the "emailto:" header.

Yahoo is web based e-mail, unless you pay for POP through Yahoo. Just in case you don't know, POP is where the e-mail is downloaded to your compuer, but web-mail is stored on the server on the web. You can usually view POP mail through the web, but it doesnt work the other way around.\n\nWhen you click the e-mail link on a webstie, the browser handles the HTML tag by opening up the default mail program on your computer, and putting the e-mail address in the "to" field.\n\nOne solution is to sign up for POP access. This will allow that cool e-mail feature to work. You can do that through your ISP for free, Yahoo and MSN charge a little bit. I use Bluebottle (it's free!) Then set up Entourage, or preferably the program that came on the mac called Mail, as your default e-mail reader.\n\nIf you're too lazy or confused to do that, click on the Mail program, go to Prefernces, and under the General tab, choose Mail(version) as your default e-mail reader. This will bring up Mail instead of Entourage, and will be less annoying to close.
