    As above.

    I believe you need to setup a unique/non-public email account which is dedicated to receiving emails to POST on your blog.

    Enable POP3 in the webmail account options.
    Enter the webmail server address, login name, and password into "Post via Email" settings.
    Any email sent to it must be in plain text, not HTML.

    I read that POP3 is only available for Yahoo Mail Plus accounts ($20 per year), but Gmail POP3 is still free.
