Can I use Mozilla Thunderbird with my Yahoo account?

I need to know how to set up my Mozilla Thunderbird with my yahoo account?

• I just downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Thunderbird. I would like to be able to send/recieve emails from my free Yahoo account. When I am setting up my Mozilla T-Bird, it asks for me to select the incoming server I use, either "POP" or "IMAP" and I have to put the name (example: "mail.example.net") which I do not know where I can find that information out for my Yahoo account. It then asks for the name of my outgoing server (example: "smtp.example.net") which I do not know as well. Does anyone know where I can find this information out so that I can use my Mozilla T-Bird with my Yahoo account? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

  HOW TO GET YAHOO E-MAIL TO WORK IN OUTLOOK EXPRESS. THIS ALSO WORKS IN INCREDIMAIL BUT INCRDIMAIL INFORMS YOU WHEN YOU GET AN E-MAIL UNLIKE OUTLOOK EXPRESS 1, Open your yahoo e-mail account Click on options Under management, middle column 2, Click on pop access and forwarding This opens mail forwarding Next selections are down to user 3, What I done was to click in forwarding I then forwarded my mail to the email that I new worked for me in outlook express 4, I then set that e-mail up in outlook express 5. I then sent e-mails to my yahoo account, and they were sent to my account in outlook express. I have also tried this with Icredimail and that also works, but with the difference that incredimail notified me when mail arrived unlike outlook express So I my self have opted for outlook express. If you reply to the email, it will be sent by the primary email account in outlook express not your yahoo account. And you can still send mail from your yahoo account, and if you have set your filters right for spam you will get much less junk mail as you will see that in the setting for forwarding your mail 6. The only problem that I could see was with the yahoo dot com. When I selected options it did not have pop access and forward in that options. It must be there some where but I got fed up looking for it. It works fine with yahoo.co.uk For those of you outside UK to get a dot co.uk email account try logging on to Yahoo UK & Ireland home page and open a yahoo account from there, you might get the dot co.uk account Best of luck if you get problems message me and will try and help Alec
