I need to know what to put in the fields of POP and SMTP in my outlook so that I can access my Yahoo mail from outlook.

I am trying to figure out what the POP and SMTP servers are to set up email in outlook.?
It CAN be done for FREE!





If you want to use Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or other third party email clients to view your email you have 2 options.


Subscribe to mail plus:

or download and install YPOPS


http://ypopsemail.com/








then follow the directions for your version of outlook here,

If you have trouble with set up, check the YPOPS installation page for alternate set up instructions.

Click on YPOPS link on the left.


Then Click on Configuring email clients towards the bottom.


Choose the appropriate link for your mail client.





I currently utilize version 2.0.0.4 of Thunderbird


and version 0.8.3 of YPOPS (there is a more recent version of YPOPS that you need if you are Yahoo Beta Mail) and have no problems.





Thumbs up are always appreciated if I have truly helped you!!

Reply:According to Y.Mail Help, you must be a paid subscriber of Yahoo Mail Plus to use email programs like Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc., to access your Yahoo mail. Free accounts cannot be accessed by email clients.


If you already have Plus, go to this Help link...


http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/


Under the heading 'Accessing Yahoo Mail via POP', choose the email program you are using and follow the easy set-up instructions.
Reply:Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)


Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication)


Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com")


Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., user@yahoo.com)


Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password


Try this if it works.
