No .. you have to subscribe to the yahoo..something .. that you have to pay before you can use that. The free yahoo mail will not work

iv had some strange experiences with yahoo
im not sure the requirements, but far as the free yahoo, do you have a old yahoo id, say before year 2000

i use opera browser, which has built in email, mine works great, but when i tried to setup for friends, it dont work

after much searching, trader 101 is right
but somehow my free yahoo works, only thing i can think of is that its very old, i never made new names

try gmail, that worked for opera, it should work on mt4, far as sms, i dont know if gmail supports that, never used it

hope that helps

Gmail requires STARTTLS and Authentication. Use another email service with POP that works with MT4.

The big question is Which email service works? I would figure all use authentication nowadays. Does anyone know what free email service works?

Several web mail services will work if you want to pay a small yearly fee for POP/SMTP service.

The attachment shows a working MT4 setup for a free service. I have only tested it in the US.

Since a couple of the web email providers I suggested in many previous posts no longer work I want to add -
NOTE: Some of these free services work a while and then they began charging or go out of business. I have been using this one when I am away from home for about a year. I have no way of knowing how long it will work.

Did your demo acct expire? Try making a new one by right clicking the accounts area in the navigator.

Actually there`s a simple way to send sms alerts. Just check out email-to-sms services.
