G Gary VanderMolen Nov 28, 2008 #2 No signup required. However, you will need to have a mail provider that does POP mail. I see you posted with a Yahoo email address. Is that your only email address? US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not webmail. Yahoo solution is to pay Yahoo to get their premium "Mail Plus" service: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/overview/index.html and use the special settings for that service: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have two other solutions: Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP, or Get a free Gmail account.
