  • Answer:

    Hi, If you're looking to get your Yahoo mail delivered to Outlook Express this can only be done by subscribing to the Yahoo! Mail Plus service If you are a Mail Plus user, then follow the directions outlined below: Outlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages. Here's how: 1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts." 2. Select the "Mail" tab. 3. Click the "Add" button. 4. From the Add menu, click "Mail." 5. In the text box labeled Display Name, type your name and click "Next." 6. In the Email Address box, type your Yahoo! Mail address (be sure to include "@yahoo.com") and click "Next." 7. Under "My incoming mail server is a..." select "POP3." 8. Type "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) Server box. 9. Type "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box. 10. Click "Next." 11. In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com"). 12. In the Password box, type your Yahoo! Mail password. 13. If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the "Remember password" box. 14. Do not check the boxes labeled "Log on using Secure..." 15. Click "Next." 16. Click "Finish." Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on: 1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts." 2. Select the "Mail" tab. 3. Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com." 4. Select the "Servers" tab. 5. Check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication." 6. Click "OK." To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server: 1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts." 2. Select the "Mail" tab. 3. Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com." 4. Select the "Advanced" tab. 5. 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. If your ISP blocks port 25 or if you're unable to send email, then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change, please follow the directions below: 1. From the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts" 2. Select your Yahoo! POP account and click on the "Properties" button 3. Click on the "Advanced" tab 4. Next to "Outgoing server (SMTP), change port 25 to 587 5. Click "Apply", then click "OK" and "Close" HTH

Here you go: E-Mail Stationery in Yahoo Mail with Outlook Express You can configure Yahoo Mail so that Outlook Express can be used to send and receive messages on your Yahoo Mail account. When you do this you are still also able to access your Yahoo Mail account online (via your web browser.) Accessing a Yahoo Mail account through Outlook Express has a number of advantages: You can keep a large amount of e-mail without overflowing the storage available to you at Yahoo. You can read your messages "offline". I.e. you can read them while your computer is not connected to the Internet. E-Mail stationery will work. Most e-mail stationery uses "scripting", which is not supported by Yahoo Mail online (when you use Yahoo Mail in your web browser.) When you view the same messages in Outlook Express instead, you can see them as intended. If you already access your Yahoo Mail account this way, and you are not seeing received stationery correctly in Outlook Express, please click on one of the following links for more information about your version of Outlook Express: Outlook Express 5 and 5.5 Outlook Express 6 To set up your Yahoo Mail account for use in Outlook Express: Go to your Yahoo Mail account online in your web browser. Click Options Click Pop Access & Forwarding To Sign Up, you'll have to agree to accept e-mails of special offers from Yahoo. Select the categories of offers you are willing to receive, then click Finished. Use the defaults on the next screen ("Web and POP Access", and "HTML Messages") and click Submit. Now you will be at a page which is titled "Pop Configuration". You might want to bookmark this page and/or print it, in case you ever reinstall Outlook Express. Near the bottom of this page is a link titled "Configuring Microsoft Outlook Express". Click that link and follow the instructions there to finish the setup. After you finish the above setup you will be able to pick up and send Yahoo Mail messages using Outlook Express.
