Developer’s Description

By System Support Products

Forward AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, MSN, Netscape, Yahoo, POP, and IMAP.

Mail Forward allows you to forward mail from AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, MSN, Netscape, and Yahoo web mail accounts to any e-mail address. Standard POP and IMAP e-mail accounts can also be forwarded. Mail can be forwarded for up to 20 separate accounts. For each account, a forwarding address can be specified or a default destination can be used.

Mail Forward works by accessing your e-mail account Inbox and forwarding each piece of mail through your SMTP mail server. Mail that is successfully forwarded can either be deleted from the forwarding account mailbox or left on the server. The forwarding account address is used as the return address for the forwarded mail, so if the mail is undeliverable it will be returned to the forwarding account.

Finally!! This does what I need it to do.

Pros
It gets my FREE Yahoo mail every 10 minutes and forwards it to my Microsoft Exchange account!!
Cons
You need a valid SMTP server for it to log on to. I use smtp.comcast.net. It wouldn't let me use gmail. And there are not enough SMTP settings in this program to allow me to use the Exchange server. E.g. you can't set the ports or the encryption.
Summary
For the past couple of years I have been sort of angry with Yahoo. All the other free webmail services allow POP access. As far as I know. But Yahoo wants 20 bucks a year. I paid it for a while and then I stopped. It just doesn't seem right. So I began looking for a way around the problem, because I like getting all my mail in one inbox. It's 2010, I don't think that is such an impossible dream. I use Outlook 2007. I have a Microsoft Exchange Server account through my medical school. At one point I had Gmail, Hotmail, and Exchange coming into Outlook all as separate accounts. After getting used to Outlook Live, I realized that I could sync everything through that Exchange server. Email, Contacts, and Calendar. So I set it up. Outlook Live grabs the Hotmail and Gmail just fine, but as usual, Yahoo was a problem. "Gimme 20 bucks buddy!" I knew free Yahoo mail is accessible, because my iPhone gets it. And at one point I had the Webmail Notifier plugin for Firefox. So I tried YPOPS but it would work a couple of times and then crash. I reinstalled it once just to be sure. Same thing. More recently I discovered POP Peeper. It's a good little application. Better than the Firefox plugin. It just sits in your system tray there and checks the account every so often. You can read, reply, forward, all that, without having to go to the browser and log in to Yahoo mail. But you can't set rules like auto-forwarding in POP Peeper. Then I stumbled onto this Mail Forward. All it does is periodically grab webmail or any other I guess, up to 20 accounts I believe, and then forward it. It's tiny and that is all it does. I downloaded it and tried it and bam! There was my yahoo mail in my Outlook inbox. Finally!! After 30 days I'll have to pay $20 dollars for the app. But I'd rather pay it once than every year. Yahoo should get a clue.
