How to receive and send free Yahoo emails by email clients

Firstly, we know that free Yahoo email won’t support POP3 at present.  

Here are some descriptions for POP, POP3, STMP and IMAP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Office_Protocol, http://ask-leo.com/what_is_pop_or_pop3_or_a_pop_account_and_what_about_smtp.html).
You actually don’t need to learn about those protocols if you just want to setup an email account.
Here is the informal and non-technical explanation for them:

POP3 is the protocol, or "language", that's used to download your email from your ISP to your mail program/client. SMTP is the protocol used to send mail. With POP3, you can save and send emails on your machine. With SMTP, you can send email directly from your email client software (Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook…) IMAP is a protocol allowing you to view emails via browsers when you’re online only.

How to protect your personal info

What is personal info:

the info identifies you, makes you different from others and can make you lose your money/assets: ID number, SIN, phone number, name, mail address, email address, driver license, car license plate, motorbike license plate, academic certificates, visa, passport, signature, bank cards, etc.

Why do you need to protect your personal info:

You can show off your personal info 100 times and nothing happens? You may not know that just one time suddenly in those 100 times can cost you a fortune. Be secure 100% is much harder than showing off your personal life. Let’s be securing practitioners. Whatever you do, you just need to make sure no one can use your personal info to turn your life darker later.

 Here are some basic steps I’m doing in my daily life:

Windows7: Using Library to optimize operation on folder

I've been using Windows 7 Library some months even though Windows 7 was installed as default on my laptop for some years. Here is the reason I came up with Libraries. Recently, I open many folder to work at a time and yeah, my file system is complicated by time too. I always need to save many documents on these scattering folders. Let's say, I need to save new recipes into my Cooking folder, save skill-set knowledge into PM and its sub folders (Scripts, Leadership, Small Project, A+, Agile, IPv6 ...) and maybe some other folders for Health concern. It's tedious to browse into sub folders all the time when saving files into different topics.
