What is phishing, and protect him on Yahoo!

First will explain what phishing. It's such a fraudulent Web technology, when users come to the letter, as it were, from the service (e-mail, forum, classmates, and even the banks). In a letter asking to pass on the link and log into your account. Clicking on the link, the user gets a page exactly like the login page on the service. 

You can not help noticing that the address in the Address bar to one letter different from the original, and enter a username and password in the form. As a result of your cabinet in the service falls into the hands of a rogue - he will get "keys" to lock in your account. As a result - lost money or sensitive data.

Return to your account in the service will be possible, as a rule, only referring to the administration for help. But it will take both time and nerves.

Phishing protection may be mainly only care user. We must remember that no one ever has to require you to enter personal data in any service, including the service itself that will not do. Also, some browsers can be integrated functional warning that the site is unreliable, and may work for anti-virus or firewall, if the phishing page from a computer virus climb.

But let me turn finally to Yahoo. To protect against phishing, they decided to make a "tag" for the computer. That is, you can set so that the entrance to the login page in the mailbox on the form will appear a special image.

The image may be as character text, and any image you downloaded. I only use numbers.

To create a print, go over the login form on the link "Create a personal seal ..", then select print what you create (text or upload an image). Print your text in the opened three ways to enter symbols (five each) and choose a background color Print this page (by clicking on "other colors ..."). To preview print click the button "Browse" button.

If satisfied, click "Save." Will show you the message that if you enter into the box from different computers, you need to create a print for everyone - click button "OK". You will transfer to the login page in the box. In the form of login and password, you will see you have created print - remember it and watch during the next authorization of Yahoo for its existence.

Here's a simple way to protect against phishing invented at Yahoo. To use or not - this is your choice. For access to the box, this chip does not affect.

And remember that the press is not tied to the mailbox, but to the user's computer, probably by setting a cookie (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookies) in your computer. If you are using print, then configure it on all computers used to access the box.

And best of all, for access to the box, use the email clients Outlook Express and the Bat. And then, no longer necessity enter through the browser on the service itself.

Zimbra Desktop and Pop Peeper - receiving mail from Yahoo!

Congratulations. The fact that the Bolsheviks have been waiting for happened. The Bolsheviks, in this case, the clients mail service "Yahoo!". And it happened that I finally found something, I hope the two work programs, email clients, to receive mail from this service on the computer.

But back to basics. Service "Yahoo!" notable for the fact that access via the email client to the account is worth about 20 euros per year. He often changes the algorithms work, because of what programs work using Ypops, with the previous article, quite a curve. But now more and enter the verification code entered, when sending emails.

The initial search on the internet has given a single hook on the site "Forum Mozilla Russia ". This program was built on the platform Mozilla Prism - desktop mail client with features organizer "Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop". Official site of the program Zimbra.com. The program is available in versions for Windows, Mac and Linux. She works with several services, for example, even with Gmail.

A second hook I had received, after the publication of this article on the blog and mailing list. This happened thanks to one of the readers who unsubscribed in the comments. He proposed the program "Pop Peeper". Like the previous, this program supports multiple mail services. Basically they are all English speaking and are used in the west, namely: Hotmail \ MSN \ LiveMail, Yahoo, GMail, Mail.com, MyWay, Excite, iWon, Lycos.com, RediffMail, Juno and NetZero

To do this go to the main page of the site "Yahoo! In Russian".
There find the icon with a link "Mail" and click on it.
On the next page, click on "Register" button at the bottom right corner of the window. You will find yourself on the page with the registration form.

If all is well, it will display a message box to establish an account.

To get started with pochnoy click the button at the bottom of the "Run Desktop".

This will open the program interface which is already possible to receive mail and send letters.

Specific features work with mail in this program and other email client does not have. The only thing you need to consider the buttons. But, this is easy, because when you hover on each, the text appears with its function. Program content and the mailbox is synchronized immediately by clicking on the button with the arrow pointing down on the top menu.

Created a letter which sent to the addressee, first hits in the outbox. After some time it takes the mail server and send. Delay can be different. I receive and send mnognovenno and wait five minutes. But, most importantly, everything is taken and sent, without a requirement for additional programs.

Sets and adjusts POP Peeper

Another look at the program POP Peeper. You can download it as the official site by clicking the menu button "Download POP Peeper", or take file-sharing service version v.3.5. To install the program on your computer, run the installation file "POPPeeper-Install.exe"

First you get a window installation wizard, there you need to click "Next"

Next, you must agree to the terms of the program by clicking "I Agree"

In the next window you can select the parts you need to install the program. But I have not changed anything and clicked "Next"

You will be prompted to install the program in the folder "Program Files" on the system disk. My location is arranged and I again clicked on the "Next", then "Install"

After that went to installation and finishing window appeared. In it I left galochnu on "Run POP Peeper" and clicked "Finish"

In the new window, you will need to configure your ineternet connection of the options and then click "Next"

Received a proposal from the program to save your data and messages in the folder "Application Data". I, personally, was not against and pressed the button "Next"

In the latter configuration window you will be invited to the next step is to run a wizard to create an account. If you want it, do not remove the tick and click "Finish"

Next, create the access necessary to you mailbox.

This starts a wizard to create an account, ochem he'll gladly tell. Click "Next"

If you already have an account in the email clients Outlook Express, Netscape or Eudora, that in the case of Yahoo! it is unlikely they can be imported into the Pop Peeper. Click this button to "Import accounts.

But I clicked on "Create an Account" in the next window, put the address you want me mailbox. Then click "Next." (Here I have left a small incident. I wanted to make two accounts with Yahoo!, But inadvertently typed the address box on Gmail, which, however in the future only played into the hands. This point can be seen in a video.)

The program will determine what type of server to use. You can also, at this stage, choose the name for the account. Type your incoming mail server: POP3 or IMAP. Or, agree with the proposed (recommended) and go to "Next."

In the new form must specify the username and password to the account on the mail service. (Do not forget to switch the keyboard layout to the Latin script.) "Next"

In the next window will show the incoming mail server, protocol and port of your computer to run the program. If you do not need to change anything, then again click on the button to continue.

If your service requires SMTP authentication, then in a new window, this feature can be configured. But, I pressed the "Finish", and then opened, and finally the program.

The program's interface was simple, standard and intuitive. Above the menu to work with the program. Beneath a graphical menu for mailbox. Using the appropriate buttons, you can create new messages and reply to come - a set of common functions. In the working part, in the left column posted accounts, but without the structure of the mailboxes that I did not like. And on the right are the actual letters. To receive letters from the box, right click on the account name and click "Check Mail". The same can be done by clicking on the graphical button at the bottom left column.

To create additional accounts need to click on the top menu on the 'Accounts' tab and choose "Add". You will be back window, where you need to select "Import accounts" or "Create an Account. Here deytvuyte as you need. All described above.

How to solve the problem of receiving mail from Yahoo! ?

CAUTION Frankly, this option now (07/10/2009) works poorly. After downloading a few letters, receiving letters stopped. It is clear that the support program Ypops its creators are not made. But, you can try - suddenly you will work well. 

This information will be helpful if you have a mailbox in the service Yahoo!, Or intend to start him there.

In the case of
mail.yahoo.com,
we have the following situation:
This email service does not provide direct access to e-mail clients such as Outlook Express, and the Bat;
it does not provide the ability to disable ads when viewing the messages on the site (which is again far from free traffic and time spent on the opening image and Advertising).

This raises several questions:

How do I get yahoo mail program Outlook Express or the Bat to my computer?
What program is associated Outlook Express and the Bat with Yahoo!?
How do I send e-mail using Outlook Express, and the Bat (what smtp-server to specify)?

The most successful solution for working with mail program was
YPOPs.
In essence - this program is the mediator between your e-mail client (mail program) and the server
Yahoo!.
The program does not require registration, but occasionally need to download the latest version when the previous stops working (on experience somewhere every six months).

Install and work with the program is not complicated:

1.Zapuskaem exe-file to install the program
2.So all agree (By default, the program will automatically run with the Wind, but you can remove the boxes startup program when you turn windose, and installation, a shortcut icon on the desktop).

When the program is already installed: 

It should be stamped number and category of letters that you want to take one session download.



In addition, you can configure the session, the maximum size of messages, folders, downloading letters (more than touch anything not advise, and no need).

IMPORTANT! 

1. The program should be sure to run when you collect your mail e-mail program! Otherwise will not work!

2. Then you must correctly specify in your account settings mailer server address for incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail. You must specify both the same address: "127.0.0.1" (without the quotes).

3. A common mistake when setting up your account is misdirection login and parolya.V the sense that not forget pereklyuchyat keyboard in Latin.

That is all wisdom.

If you do not find the prog in NETE, here's a link to the program:>> YPOPs <<, Ypops link1, Ypops link2, Ypops link3. Click and download.

If not get set up and need a manual in the form of video lesson, then you should click on the button below:
