Yahoo's email servers are...

pop.mail.yahoo.com

and

smtp.mail.yahoo.com

HTH

can you check your email account through them?

i.e a yahoo account through pop.mail.yahoo.com

and anyway, how did you know?

[artsapimp]

Yes, you can use any mail service to get your mail. I use Outlook Express to get my Yahoo! mail.

cool

You can always find out by tracing e-mail sent to you, by looking in header information, or take an educated guess and ping the ip.

email from yahoo employees?, or the general public.
