What's the Incoming/Outgoing Mail server for Yahoo! Mail?

Invalid Mail Server error? setting up POP on my yahoo?

  • hi, i am trying to set up another yahoo email account to be be able to be used on my main yahoo account. i already created the other yahoo email & then went to the yahoo mail & set it up to receive, but then when i try to check it, it says "Invalid Mail Server, yahoo, specified. i *should* be able to do this, because it says "Sometimes one email address isn't enough. Need an extra one for work, school, or family? Yahoo! Mail lets you create one extra email address for free. Use it exactly like your primary address, and get messages sent to both addresses delivered to one Inbox. Remember though, you can only get one extra mail address for your account." what do i need to type in where it says "Mail Server"? and what all needs to be checked with a check mark where it says : Options: Override default POP port: (do i type anything into this space? it already has 110 typed in it... im so confused??? ) Leave mail on POP server Retrieve new messages only Use filters hope i was able to describe my issue properly... thanks so much

    The only way to POP more than one Yahoo! account into a different email client is to purchase Yahoo! Mail Plus separately for each account. 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 Plus service. $19.99 a year. If you have not purchased the Yahoo! Mail Plus service, you will be unable to retrieve messages via an email client. How do I POP my mail?
