This option is not enable by default and you need to change some settings to enable POP3 in your Yahoo! Mail. Follow the guide below to enable POP3 access for your account: Step 1: Login into your web Yahoo! Mail. Click on your Display Name and select ‘Edit My Account‘ Step 2: You will see your account settings page. In the Member Information section, check the current settings for Preferred Content. If it is Yahoo! Asia, please skip to step 7. Else, click ‘Edit‘ on the Member Information section here. Step 3: In the Member Details page, click on the current Preferred Content option. (ie: Yahoo! US) Step 4: Change your current preferred content settings to Yahoo! Asia and click ‘Finished‘. Step 5: Go through the TOS and click ‘I Accept‘.
