For yahoo mail you need upgrade to yahoo mail plus to get

And use the yahoo mail servers address (for yahoo.com address)


* Incoming Mail Server (POP3): plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com


Use SSL, port: 995


* Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com


Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication





And for yahoo mail servers address (for yahoo.co.uk address)


* Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk


Use SSL, port: 995


* Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smpt.mail.yahoo.co.uk


Use SSL, port: 465





Note: Some UK users can get free pop3 it will depend on if your internet service provider has an arrangement with yahoo, you need to check with your isp first.
Reply:No, I keep telling people the same thing, you DONT have to have a paid account to access Yahoo from within a program such as Outlook etc, I have and still use a free account within currently Windows Mail, just dont forget to enable POP Forwarding within Options/Mail options when in your account on the web (in IE or Firefox).


Settings are


Type of account pop3


Incoming server pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk


Incoming port (pop3) 995,


Outgoing server smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk


Outgoing port (smtp) 465.


Dont forget to enable POP Forwarding in Options/Mail Options when you are logged into your account on the web under IE or Firefox.


Outlook will not be able to work with your account unless you do this.



Reply:Hey Graham, I think Yahoo has changed the option availability of using Outlook in basic email. When I go to my options page in email, there is no option to check for POP forwarding. (This is probably to force us to pay for the accounts.) Can you tell me where to look for it. I went to my mail and clicked %26gt;options %26gt;general preferences. I found nothing there.
