    Hi Darkatt , Have you attempted this with a gmail account?  And does it work for you? 

    I have a  question for you; When you generate that pwd? Do I then need to change my yahoo/cox.net account to that generated pwd? Then that is the pwd I use when I "pop" my yahoo/cox.net email to my gmail account?
