How do I find my POP3 incoming server?

How do i find out what my email server is. I have a form asking me if it's pop3 or imap for incoming, and for

  • also, it wants to know the stmp. I have looked all over yahoo mail for this and cannot find the answer.

  • Answer:

    Go Yahoo Mail (I use the old Yahoo Mail format) > Options > POP Access & Forwarding > View POP Settings > "Incoming Mail Server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.ca" & "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.ca". POP3 & IMAP are two of the most prevalent Internet standard protocols for e-mail retrieval. I had to find this information too for setting up Mozilla Thunderbird & MS Outlook Express as my computer's email clients. I suspect you are doing the same in which case, you probably will want to set up newsgroups (public email bulletin boards) as well. To do that, you need your NNTP, which is usually the name of your ISP followed by "news", so in my case it is "shawnews".
