How do I setup Outlook Express to send/receive Yahoo email?

Answer:

First, I assume you have Yahoo Mail Plus account, because you will need it in order to have the SMTP/POP access. If you don't have it, then use the first link below. I am including the link below of the settings. If you look at the bottom you will see various email clients listed. Just click on the one for which ever version Outlook you have and you will see all the details.

In the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on the Yahoo! Mail server as well as on your local computer. Do not check this box if you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server once you have received them in Outlook Express.

Most of the Outlook Express error messages are due to problems with the internet connection, not the software on your computer.
