What is wrong with Outlook Express?

Outlook Express does not accept my Yahoo! e-mail password. How do I make it accept it? What did I do wrong?

  • I set up the account as instructed on Yahoo! but when I want to synchronize, Outlook Express asks for user id and password and rejects the password

  • Answer:

    You need to have a YAHOO PLUS account to configure yahoo in outlook..... Yahoo charges $19.99 a year to get a YAHOO PLUS account Make sure that, you have saved all the settings in yahoo. Once you login you can find SETTINGS towards the top right corner. Click on SETTINGS ---> POP ACCESS & FORWARDING ---> Make sure that the radio button for WEB & POP ACCESS is checked. Open Outlook 2003 E-mail Accounts - Select the server as POP - Give the following details Incoming Mail Server (POP3): plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL, port: 995 Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication Account Name/Username: Your Yahoo Mail ID Email address: Your Yahoo Mail ID Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password Once you have entered everything, then click on TEST ACCOUNT SETTINGS. If you have confirgured everything correctly, then you will receive a test mail. Hope this might solve your problem. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html
