How to do POP mail? Have attempted dozens of times, no decent instructions exist?

Methinks POP mail is a cruel, vicious joke...perpetrated by nerds on newbees...and a few oldbees as well who get suckered into trying to configure it for the 1287th time...

    You cannot use an external POP3 client with a free Yahoo! mail account. If you have a Yahoo! Plus account, you will find the instructions by clicking on the Options link on the mail screen -- Options, Mail Options, POP and Forwarding.

    I've never had a problem setting it up.

    You enter the popmail address, you forward the port on your router, you enter your username and password.
