SCN: Yahoo pop mail - remote access question

[patrick fisher]

The odd thing is that I set up a Hotmail account and it works great!

Unfortunately, I can't check the settings for the hotmail through Outlook Express
because MS seems to hide this to make it as simple as possible. 

Using a Apple Powerbook G3, OS 8.5, MS Outlook Express 5.2.

Odd that Hotmail works. I wonder why.
