What is yahoos outgoing and incoming mail server ?

• Answer:

  In order to use a separate email program, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, or Thunderbird (see below), to receive Yahoo Mail you can use POP3 or IMAP. SMTP is needed when using any program or right clicking on a file to directly send email. POP3 and SMTP is free in the UK, AU, and NZ but in the US you must pay for Yahoo Mail Plus. IMAP can be used free anywhere. When you do you can set the servers as follows: Incoming (POP3)      US - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL; Port 995      UK - pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk Use SSL; Port 995      AU and NZ - pop.mail.yahoo.com.au Use SSL; Port 995 Outgoing (SMTP)      US - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com Use TLS; Port 465      UK - smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk Use SSL and TLS; Port 465      AU and NZ - smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au Use SSL and TLS; Port 465 Incoming (IMAP)      US - imap.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL/TLS; Port 993      (For outgoing use the SMTP server. Not available for free in the US.) I am using IMAP with Thunderbird with a free account. I can receive email with no problem. I use another email account for outgoing mail. The same servers are used for ymail and rocketmail. Use the entire email address as the Yahoo ID. There is an add on for Thunderbird that will allow many web email accounts including Yahoo without the need for POP3. Go to http://webmail.mozdev.org/ NOTE: I have not been able to get this to work. Maybe it will not work with Beta yet. If you are running Thunderbird 3 and Yahoo Beta Mail and it works, please contact me. ₪ ʎəɿʞɹɐq ₪
