How do I set up a yahoo email account onto outlook?

• I have outlook 2010. I would like to set up my yahoo email to go to outlook so that i can easily email when necessary.

• Answer:

  In order to use a separate email client, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, or Thunderbird, to receive Yahoo Mail you can use POP3 or IMAP. In order to send email you need SMTP. POP3 and SMTP is free in the UK, AU, and NZ but in the US you must pay for "Yahoo Mail Plus". In Canada it is free with "Yahoo! Delivers". IMAP can be used free anywhere. When you do you can set the servers as follows: Incoming (POP3)      US and CA - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL; Port 995      UK - pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk Use SSL; Port 995      AU and NZ - pop.mail.yahoo.com.au Use SSL; Port 995 Outgoing (SMTP)      US and CA - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com Use TLS; Port 465      UK - smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk Use SSL and TLS; Port 465      AU and NZ - smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au Use SSL and TLS; Port 465 Incoming (IMAP)      US and CA - imap.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL/TLS; Port 993      (For outgoing use the SMTP server. NOTE: It seems that Yahoo has problems with SSL on SMTP. If the above does not work then try removing the SSL option. I do not recommend mixing POP3 and IMAP in Thunderbird. It seemed to cause strange problems. The same servers are used for ymail and rocketmail. Use the entire email address as the Yahoo ID. ℬ ℋ
