I have changed ISP's and when doing so I had no ISP. So when I did get a new one I cannot get the mail for the days I was disconnected. I have yahoo mail but was getting it by going thru my browser. Is there anyway I can get the mail for these days. Thanks

If you had been using Yahoo the entire time, then all your mail is already there! Yahoo will continue to get mail, regardless of whether or not you have an ISP.

Using my browser when getting my mail was the only place it was coming. I could go to Yahoo mail and there would be no new mail but thru my browser there was and I also mailed something to myself at yahoo so I know this to be true

Hi gerri:
Sourdaisy's steering you right. Yahoo is a web based email program. While you were without an isp, your mail would still continue to be sent to your account.......again, because the emails would have been stored on the web, and not on your computer.
One of the bonuses of web based email is that you can get access to your email from any computer anywhere, that has access to the net.

You made need to configure Outlook Express to get your Yahoo! mail.
The POP3 server should be; pop.mail.yahoo.com
The SMTP server can either be the server name for your ISP' SMTP server or you can use Yahoo's!, which is; smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
