How can I receive yahoo email through outlook express?

Can I configure Outlook Express to receive email from Yahoo without upgrading to Plus?

• I know the usual server setup procedure for OE, but my problem is that I had to change to an ISP that doesn't have an incoming mail server. However, they did provided me with an outgoing server. (see below) So, is there a way I can setup OE without having to pay Yahoo $20? If so, I'd appreciate it if someone would be so kind as provide a step-by-step guide to setting this up. <quote>Hello Dean, To configure your Outlook Express client to work with our service, you will need to set your outgoing email server to mail.restechservices.net, with no authentication. Unfortunately we do not currently have an email service to complement our Internet service and provide incoming email management, but you may be able to configure your Outlook client to receive email from your Yahoo account. </quote> Thanks, Dean PS. I tried entering the server info like this: pop.mail.yahoo / smtp.restechservices.net and... pop-server." " / smtp-server." "

• Answer:

  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: http://billing.mail.yahoo.com/bm/Upgrades or download and install YPOPS http://ypopsemail.com/ then follow the directions for your version of outlook here, http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-35.html If you have trouble with set up, check the YPOPS installation page for alternate set up instructions. http://dbeusee.home.comcast.net/ 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 if you are interested) and have no problems. Thumbs up are always appreciated if I have truly helped you!!
