What are the server protocols (pop3,stmp) so I can hook up yahoo mail to my outlook express?

Following are the possible options: 1. Sign up for a free service offered by Yahoo which allows you to use POP3 protocol with any email client. In order to subscribe to the free POP3 service offered by Yahoo, you will also have to agree to receive advertisements from Yahoo "partners" in your email box. 2. Sign up for Yahoo premium service. The cost is $19.99 a year and you won't get the ads. (please check with yahoo for the exact price, as this may have changed) 3. Use YahooPOPs! ("YPOPs!"): a third party application that converts web-based Yahoo email into POP3 format. This enables you to download your Yahoo emails into Outlook Express, Eudora, Pegasus, or any other POP3-compatible email program.

pop3 is a post office protocol version 3. This protocol is used to retrieve mails from mail server i.e. incomming mails. smtp: simple mail transfer protocol is used to send mails to the mail servers. outgoing mails. thats why while using outlook express we need to provide urls of both servers, to make it run.

pop3 is protocol used to retrieve ur mail from incoming server, while smtp is a protocol used to send ur mail to outgoing server, and to configure them on ur outlook express or ms outlook u need to know the names of the both incoming and outgoing server of yahoo, unless u don't the names u can't configure ur outlook for accessing the mails from ur yahoo account.
