How to add my yahoo account to my outlook 2007?

Outlook 2007 "Cannot Log on to Server" when I try to add my yahoo e-mail to it.?

  • When I try to add my yahoo e-mail account to Outlook 2007, it "establishes network connection" and successful "searches for [and finds my e-mail's] server settings," but it cannot "log on to server and send a test e-mail message." Can anyone help? Do I need to log off of yahoo.com to do this? I am running windows 7. Can anyone help me? Thank you so much!

    The ability to access Yahoo! Mail via a POP3 email client is only available to customers of Mail Plus. If you have not purchased the Mail Plus service, you will be unable to retrieve messages via an email client (such as Outlook or Outlook Express). You can determine whether or not you've purchased this service by visiting Yahoo’s password-protected secure billing site. If you've purchased Yahoo! Mail Plus, make sure you have the correct password entered in your email client. To test this, log in to your Yahoo! Mail account. Enter your Yahoo! ID and password. If you receive an "Invalid Password" error, then you'll need to change your password. When you change your password, return to the email client and make the appropriate changes.
