Hi there,
In our family we have yahoo and gmail and hotmail accounts. Now what We want - instead of going to these sites everytime we want to synchronize or want them in one of our email program will be best for this. We haven't use anything yet. How to get these mails in one program at one go. Is it possible for all ? I hope this question is well explained.[/b]

You may use a mail client such as Microsoft Outlook express.
The way to configure outlook for yahoo, gmail or hotmail will be on their site, or can be obtained with a little search in the web.

Thanks Shivin, I have searched for that and tried too, but hotmail is asking for subscription. I think they have closed this option for free!

[shivin]

Yeah. I guess hotmail provides pop3 for subscribed users only.
You may try gmail instead. Or there are a lot of other free e-mail providers.

Mozilla's Thunderbird along with its webmail-hotmail add-on allow you to read, write, and manage your hotmail locally, without having to log on to their web page. I've been using it for two months now, mainly because I need to sort my mail in archives, and hotmail doesn't have very good directory nesting. I also find it much, much faster than using the web page.
