How do I set yahoo as my outgoing server for outlook express?

I'm trying to set yahoo.ie mail up on Outlook Express but it wont accept the smtp server. My isp isnt blocking

  • I've tried with smtp.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk is there a .ie server? The isp is BT ireland and I've checked their site. They do not block outside smtp servers (as the yahoo help section suggested might be the case)

  • Answer:

    You have to pay for access in the US, I'm guessing it's the same worldwide. http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-40.html The ability to access Yahoo! Mail via a POP3 email client (such as Outlook or Outlook Express) is only available to customers of our premium Yahoo! Mail services. http://billing.mail.yahoo.com/bm/Upgrades If you have not purchased the Yahoo! Mail Plus service, you will be unable to retrieve messages via an email client. To determine whether or not you have purchased this service, please visit the My Services page. http://ordering.yahoo.com/ Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.com Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com
