Why does Outlook 2007 keep prompting for a password?

Need Help with Outlook 2007 configuration?

• I have been trying to configure my outlook 2007 to be able to send and receive emails but I am having problems. It is loaded correctly, I even went out and loaded YPOPS. I went in and set it up to keep emails on the server from my yahoo account but when I open it up I keep getting a popup box that asks for my Server, Username and Password - all of which I have entered in based on my username and password for my yahoo email accoutn. I must be doing something wrong because it still won't send or even send a test email to my yahoo account. Anyone who can help instruct me how to fix this I would really appreciate it.

• Answer:

  There are two sets of settings for Yahoo email. The first assumes that you are allowed POP3 access on the FREE accounts. Many of us have to use the PAID Yahoo Mail Plus accounts in order to access POP3 facilities, in which case the second set of settings would apply. 1) Yahoo! Mail Settings (if allowed) Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110) Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25) 2) Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995) Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication) If you need to upgrade, go to Options > Mail Plus > Upgrade now > enter your payment details for $19.99 annual fee to complete the process.
