FREE 1 GB YAHOO ACCOUNT WITH POP3!!!
____________________________________

Here's how: Follow the instructions carefully...

1. Create a Yahoo ID. You can create one here:
copy paste this link on ur address bar:
http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_register...=&promo=&.last= ://http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_r...&promo=&.last=
2. UNCHECK the 'Create my free Yahoo! email address'. Give an alternate non-yahoo email address.
3. Complete the procedures, then logout.
4. Activate your chinese-domain email adress by going to http://cn.mail.yahoo.com ( THE PAGES WILL BE IN CHINESE FONT )
5. Fill in your newly created Yahoo ID and password and click the button below.
6. Type anything on the two text boxes that appears. I don't know what the labels say either.
7. You will have initially 100 MB of email space.
8. Logout.
9. Login to Yahoo Messenger ( YM ), using your newly created Yahoo ID.
if you don't have YM installed, donwload it here:
http://messenger.yahoo.com
10. Add at least a contact/friend. If you don't have anyone to add, add this ID: chowyeuw
11. Logout.
12. Go to http://cn.mail.yahoo.com
13. Click the *glowing* 1G icon.
14. A new page will be opened on a new browser window.
15. Fill in your newly created Yahoo ID and password on the the 2 text boxes below. Then click the yellow button under.[ I think it says Sign-in]
16. Just click the 2 big yellow buttons that appear succesively.
17. Now you have 0% of 1.0GB !!!

Your default language will be English, with free POP3.

This must be good news for those without Gmail account!
Your email ID would be yourname@yahoo.com.cn
Googlue!

Thanks, even though I have gmail, this is very interesting, I will try this out.

Why do you have to log in through a chinese page? Is this service only offered to Chinese people? I already have a yahoo id, can't I get 1gb with that ID?

Well, for some reason, Yahoo offers free 1GB account with POP3 only in it's chinese server...
Probably testing it out there, i dunno.
If I could read and understand chinese, could have learny the reason there at the chinese yahoo site

Bexa/Ashiezai, any help?

Googlue!

wow, sounds awesome. i guess the only downside is having the '.com.cn' at the end..

Yeah very interesting, what actually does the im have to do with getting 1 gb of space? Anyways great job on this find!

When you get a Yahoo! ID without signing for free Email, it is for the purpose of using Yahoo! messenger. So log in and out once so that the system recognizes you as a legitimate user...

Try without that, you cannot get 1GB LOL!

I just tried that approach through US servers and I still get 100mb of storage. That sucks. Isn't that discrimination or something? That's not fair they offer it to some and not others.

Anyways, good find...How'd you stuble over this fine piece of information ?

hmm, interesting. I don't really need that much space, but does it really work? But if you're not in China, the .cn would probably throw people off and easily forgotten. When I got to int'l sites, I forget the little addition of .uk, .tw, etc. all the time

Gmail had pop3 aswell doesnt it?
With a little hack its posible

Does anyone really use a whole gb of space for their email? i have gmail and haven't used a percent yet, and i've got a lot of emails that have gone undeleted for a long time.
