How do i find out which email server yahoo uses?

How do I find the server information for my yahoo email account?

• I'm trying to respond to a post on craigslist and they are asking for the server information for my yahoo email account. They're asking if whether it's POP3, IMAP, or HTTP. They are also asking for the NAME of the incoming server, and the OUTGOING server. My question is, how do I obtain this information? Also, do I have other options?. Thank you for your time.

• Answer:

  There are two sets of settings for Yahoo email. The first assumes that you are allowed POP3 access on the FREE accounts. Many of us have to use the PAID Yahoo Mail Plus accounts in order to access POP3 facilities, in which case the second set of settings would apply. 1) Yahoo! Mail Settings (if allowed) Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110) Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25) 2) Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995) Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication) If you need to upgrade, go to Options > Mail Plus > Upgrade now > enter your payment details for $19.99 annual fee to complete the process. Yes you have other options. You can use your regular web based yahoo access by copying the craigslist ad "Reply To" address and pasting it into your Yahoo To: field, and copying the link to the craigslist item and pasting it into the body of your yahoo email message.
