Why can't I add my yahoo account to Outlook?

Is it possible to add your yahoo email account to Outlook Express?

  • I would like to add my yahoo email address as an account in Outlook Express. Is this possible? And if so, how do you proceed?

  • Answer:

    Unfortunately you have to buy Mail plus for this to work. Yahoo say in their help files that it is free for basic users but they are lying. If you do as the above answerer states you will be prompted to buy Yahoo Mail Plus. I have asked Yahoo about this and they said the same as the long answer above but if you try it you will see it is not true. Consider using another mail provider. I am.

Yes it certainly is. mine is. you need firstly to log onto your yahoo account on your PC. then click on options and select pop access and forwarding. You will be asked to subscribe to free mail forwarding and pop access. click yes and save. you are then directed back to options menu. Select pop access and forwarding again and then select the option to receive all messages including those that spam guard thinks are spam. you will then be set up. then you just need to know these details for outlook setup - outgoing mail server - smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk incoming mail server - pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk (this is POP3 type server) you just then go into outlook click on tools and got to accounts. click the mail tab and then click the add button and select mail. it will ask for your email address, password and the above info. Then when you have done that. go to tools and then accounts again. click on mail tab and select the new yahoo account and then click properties button. click server tab in the yahoo properties window and then tick the box at the bottom that says outgoing server - my server requires authentication. you're then set up!!! hope this helps
