How do you recover an old email account on Outlook Express?

Why can't i send email using outlook express with my yahoo account even though I receive mail there?

• I am trying to use outlook express with my yahoo account [email protected]. I have designated that account as default, and receive email through that account in outlook express, but when I try to send mail that way I get this error message: The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E... WHY CAN I RECEIVE BUT NOT SEND, AND HOW CAN I FIX THE PROBLEM?

• Answer:

  In order to use a separate email program, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, or Thunderbird, with Yahoo Mail you need POP3. It is free in the UK but in the US you must pay for Yahoo Mail Plus. It is also required when you try to transfer the mail using smtp or pop3 to another online email. When you do you can set the servers as follows: Incoming (pop3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com Outgoing (smtp) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com ₪ ɦəlʞɹɐq ₪
