How do I setup outlook 2007 with my yahoo account?

Keeps asking for yahoo password on outlook?

• In my attempt to add yahoo into outlook as a secondary email account, it keeps promting to enter password. Completed manual settings with pop and port # though during test email process it pops up the user name and password verification. Can yahoo actually be setup on Outlook 2007?

• Answer:

  In order to use a separate email program, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, or Thunderbird (see below), with Yahoo Mail you need POP3. It is also needed when using any program or right clicking on a file to directly send email. It is free in the UK, AU, and NZ but in the US you must pay for Yahoo Mail Plus. It is also required when you try to transfer the mail using smtp or pop3 to another online email. 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 NOTE: 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 ₪ Tuesday, January 25, 2011
