Outlook Express problems?

Can you help with problems configuring my Outlook Express to retrieve my Yahoo mail?

  • I have followed all the instructions given by Yahoo several times but Outlook Express is still not working. Every time I put my password in, the Log On box just keeps re-appearing until I click on 'Cancel', at which point I get a message saying that my password was rejected. I am 99.9% sure that the password I have entered is the correct Yahoo password that I always use. Very frustrating. Hope to have some advice. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    For yahoo mail you need upgrade to yahoo mail plus to get the full pop3 service for access to Outlook,Incredimail, Thunderbird and others. For more info on setting up your pop3 account see the links below. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/classic/mailplus/pop/pop-35.html http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/classic/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html * Incoming Mail Server (POP3): plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL, port: 995 * Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication. If you have “yahoo.co.uk” address some users can get free pop forwarding see below. Click “options” (top right) on your mail page>mail options>pop and forwarding> Set up or edit pop & forwarding>type in the address you want to forward to and click save. * Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk Use SSL, port: 995 * Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smpt.mail.yahoo.co.uk Use SSL, port: 465. http://freewebs.com/yahooqs/yahooeml.html Note: In order to be able to send emails from outlook and others through/to yahoo (pop3) you need to pay for a yahoo mail plus account.
