Does MailAlert work with free, browser-based email services such as Excite, HotMail, Juno, Yahoo and ZDNet?
In general, No. It is not possible to check for new mail with standard POP3 mail utilities such as MailAlert because the actual mail servers are not directly accessible from the Internet. However, if the service also offers a standard POP3 email service for a fee (as Hotmail does), the answer is Yes. Return to the List of Questions.
