Who is my "server" for my Yahoo account?

Adding Yahoo account to Outlook - User/Pass wont login to pop server?

• I am trying to add my yahoo mail account to my work Outlook account. I followed the directions I found on this site ( Add new POP3 account - (pop.mail.yahoo.com, and smtp.mail.yahoo.com, entered my Yahoo username and password) however when a attempted to run Test email, it fails. It successfully Establishes network connection, successfully completes "Find outgoing mail server (SMTP)", successfully completes "Find incoming mail server (POP3)", but fails at Log onto incoming mail server (POP3). The correct User Name and Password are auto populated in the "Enter Network Password" pop up dialog that appears and I check the "Save this password in your password list" but when I hit the OK button nothing happens. The dialog just pops back up again after a second. Why wont it accept my valid username and password which I use to login to my Yahoo account all the time. I have even cut and pasted to make sure I didn't make a mistake. Very confused. Thank you very much for any help.

• Answer:

  If you want to use Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or other third party email clients to view your email you have 2 options. Subscribe to mail plus: http://billing.mail.yahoo.com/bm/Upgrades or download and install YPOPS http://ypopsemail.com/ then follow the directions for your version of outlook here, http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-35.html If you have trouble with set up, check the YPOPS installation page for alternate set up instructions. http://dbeusee.home.comcast.net/ Click on YPOPS link on the left. Then Click on Configuring email clients towards the bottom. Choose the appropriate link for your mail client. I currently utilize version 2.0.0.4 of Thunderbird and version 0.8.3 of YPOPS (there is a more recent version of YPOPS that you need if you are Yahoo Beta Mail) and have no problems. Thumbs up are always appreciated if I have truly helped you!!
