Alternative to Pop3Now

Alternative to Pop3Now

Sadly I just got informed that Pop3Now (.com) will stop their service
next month.

Is there an alternative to their webmail service where I can manage 5
POP3 accounts from 1 window? As a secondary webmail I use Mail2Web but
here I have to check my accounts individually which I would like to be
without.

Any suggestions?

I do not know what (exactly) Pop3Now does, but from your description/
question it looks like a basic (free) Yahoo! Mail account would serve
your needs just fine. You can POP from other accounts into Yahoo! Mail's
webmail. (-> Options -> Mail Addresses -> Add)

Is it possible to view the 5 accounts in 1 window? What about replying
mails from the different accounts? Will my reply address be the Yahoo
e-mail address or my POP3 addresses?

Yes. You just click on the account(s) and the mail is POP-ped into
your (one and only) Inbox, i.e. one window.

For *sending* mail from the non-Yahoo accounts/addresses, you need to
upgrade to the (non-free) Yahoo! Mail Plus (US$ 19.99/year). You can
hack things a bit by setting a different Reply-To: address for your main
Yahoo account, but that's rather a kludge and you can set only one
Reply-To: address at a time, so Plus is the right solution for that.

In any case: Just get a free account and see for yourself.
