Is it possible to make a Visual Basic.Net application that can inform me when I get a new email (like in Yahoo! Messenger but without the messenger) Im guessing it would have to log into Yahoo! Mail somehow but it would be great. So can it be done and how?
Please give links etc. if possible

Oh most certainly it can. The idea is that the application has a routine which starts a connection, checks the email and closes. This routine is then put on a timer which you can set in the code or have the user set to their own value... to check every 5 or 10 minutes for instance.
I have provided some great links which show you how to check for email and how you can set it up with timing.
Enjoy!
