Hope you still remember those good old days, when you can access yahoo mail, hotmail and almost all web based emails through your outlook for free, without using any bulky software add-ons. I think that day it was necessary, accessing internet was not cheap and fast those days as it is now. It’s easy to compose your email offline and send it when you connect to the internet. Yahoo now charges for the POP3 service, you need to subscribe to mail plus for that, I don’t know when hotmail stopped their http service, till few months back it was working for me. Then it suddenly stopped working. Then later they introduced outlook connector. One good thing I noticed is it doesn’t add those advertisements when sending through outlook. And as usual the bad thing is it supports only OUTLOOK L.

Outlook connector can be downloaded here.
