I found this posted on another forum. For anyone who does not yet have a Gmail account, Yahoo is recommended because both offer an SSL-encrypted login, so sharing your encrypted password is a lot safer with Yahoo and Gmail than with other email accounts. This listed procedure will give you an English language interface for a 1GB Yahoo China account. The regular (English)Yahoo.com account only offers 100MB, but you can increase that amount 10X by folowing these steps:
1. Create a Yahoo ID. You can create one here:
copy paste this link on ur address bar
https://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_register?
2. UNCHECK the 'Create my free Yahoo! email
address'. Give an alternate non-yahoo email address.
3. Complete the procedures, then logout after.
4. Activate your chinese-domained email adress by going to
https://cn.mail.yahoo.com ( THE PAGES WILL BE IN CHINESE FONT )
5. Fill in your newly created Yahoo ID and password and click the button below.
6. two text boxes appear for your name. Fill in whatever name you want to appear on your mails.
7. You will have initially 100 MB of email space.
8. Logout.
9. Login to Yahoo Messenger ( YM ), using your newly created Yahoo ID. if you don't have YM installed, donwload it here:
https://messenger.yahoo.com
10. Add at least a contact/friend. If you don't have anyone to add, add this ID: chowyeuw
11. Logout.
12. Go to
https://cn.mail.yahoo.com
13. Click the *glowing* 1G icon.
14. A new page will be opened on a new browser window.
15. Fill in your newly created Yahoo ID and password on the the 2 text boxes below. Then click the yellow button under.[ I think it says Sign-in]
16. Just click the 2 big yellow buttons that appear succesively.
17. Now you have 0% of 1.0GB
Your default language will be English, with free POP3.
If you need help with understanding the Chinese characters, use any online translator such as Babelfish or Systran
