How do you get yahoo mail to work with Outlook 2007?

I use outlook 2007 with mail plus from yahoo. The window keeps popping up asking for password. Help?

  • I use outlook 2007 and plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com with my plus program and correct password yet the box keeps poping up wanting my password. It worked for a while now I cant make it work properly what has changed in last few days. How can I get the window from poping up? can someone give me a better set of set up instructions or a url where I can get the right instructions?

    Navsteve seems to have hit the nail on the head with his earlier response to Ipek A. Yahoo's mail service has been appalling over the past few days: "I think you'll find there is a big problem at YAHOO at the moment (for the last few days) when internittently mail-servers for POP (incoming) and SMTP (Outgoing) mail being sent via Outlook or Outlook express - which has previously been working fine, suddenly continuously asks for network passwords - even if you input it and save the password mutliplt times it just keeps asking adn the send and receive in Outlook results in ERROR messages (i.e. messages not sent). Yahoo wll have to sort this out for us - it's very frustrating! SHort-term solution - sign on to a new e-mail address in Hotmail or Googlemail!" Other streams have suggested that there has been a POP3 upgrade recently, which has triggered this mess. Very frustrating.

I had the same problem, and I never figured it out either. I did try the new Windows Live Mail and I like it a lot better than Outlook. I'm able to receive my email from my home account, hotmail account, gmail account and yahoo account with no problems. I can even keep track on my feeds with it. All this without having to put in my password every time. I know that doesn't fix you Outlook problems but its something to try.
