Why not just forward all messages on those accounts to a different address, like your ISP one

Many hosts have the asppop3 component that you can use to pull emails in a custom program. Other's offer Horde or Squirrel mail which can pull email from other accounts - really, almost ant good webmail program can do this - check with your host about your web mail program.

The simplest way is like Mart said - just set up those accounts to forward to one central one. Or else follow maddog's advice and have your email client on your pc check all the accounts. I currently use Outlook to check 9 accounts every Send/Receive and hav about a dozen more accounts in different groups that I do a manual send receive on a weekly basis.

You can't use email programs with hotmail and yahoo as far as I understand.

If you do ever use email programs, use Thunderbird. (mozilla.org.)

SFAIK, AOL(?) and Gmail are the only services you can't check through a regular client (with some flaky setings for msn/hotmail), and there's a couple of plugins floating around that'll let you do those.

Gmail is considering allowing access through POP3 in the future.

MS is stopping support for Hotmail through Outlook pretty soon.

[ http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;531144900;fp;4;fpid;16 - Full Article Here ]  [ http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=mozclient&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=hotmail+outlook+support - Google Here ]
===============

Microsoft US will this week start charging for a Hotmail feature that allows users of the Web-based e-mail service to access their e-mail using the Outlook e-mail client.

Microsoft is making the move not to increase the number of paying Hotmail users but because the feature is being abused by senders of spam, said Brooke Richardson, lead product manager for MSN at Microsoft.

"Essentially what spammers do is create scripts so they can rapid-fire e-mail from Outlook or Outlook Express and pop off a hundred e-mails from each of those Hotmail accounts in rapid succession," Richardson said. "On certain days we have seen tens of thousands of Hotmail accounts set up and spamming in this matter."

To prevent abuse of the feature, Microsoft will stop making it available to new users of free Hotmail and MSN mail accounts starting Monday. Current users can continue to use the feature but will be asked to become Hotmail subscribers over the coming months. By April next year, the feature will no longer be available for free, Richardson said.

The Hotmail and MSN mail feature is known as WebDAV, after the Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol that enables it. It is enabled on about 5 percent, or 9.4 million, of the 187 million active Hotmail accounts, according to Richardson.
=====================


You can use AOL through an IMAP client also. No, I don't use AOHell, but in my support business I have to keep up with these things.

[ http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/ - Full Tutorial Link ]
====================
AOL users have been plagued for years by an outdated email system that lacked basic features offered by Outlook and other email clients. But on April 5 America Online began offering IMAP access to AOL email (Keyword: Open Mail Access).

Set up your new account as usual. Here are the AOL IMAP and SMTP server addresses.

  • imap.aol.com (port 143)
  • smtp.aol.com (port 587)
Use your AOL screen name and password (not AIM password) to log in. The SMTP server requires authentication to send mail.
========================


With Gmail, you can't "technically" use a POP3 client; however apps such as http://www.gpopper.com - www.gpopper.com simulate this pretty darn well. It kinda defeats the purpose of Gmail to me, but it works fairly well.
