How do I set up an I.M. on Yahoo?

Im trying to set up my outlook to use my yahoo mail address as a server. how do I set it up?

  • I need to know how to get the incomming and outgoing servers. also how do I configure outlook to be able to send and recieve using my yahoo address?

  • 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 that you need if you are Yahoo Beta Mail) and have no problems. Thumbs up are always appreciated if I have truly helped you!!

According to Y.Mail Help, you must be a paid subscriber of Yahoo Mail Plus to use email programs like Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc., to access your Yahoo mail. Free accounts cannot be accessed by email clients. If you already have Plus, go to this Help link... http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/ Under the heading 'Accessing Yahoo Mail via POP', choose the email program you are using and follow the easy set-up instructions, including all the server addresses and settings you need.
