your incoming server name should be pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com, and your outgoing server name should be smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com.





your user name will be your full email address. using outlook , you will need to select that your outgoing server requires authentication by choosing more settings. also, you should change your outgoing server port from 25 to 587 (also in more settings).





it's really easy to setup. i know these are the addresses for @sbcglobal.net accounts, but I am not positive for @yahoo.com accounts. i would assume so. you can search for yahoo pop settings if this doesn't work
Reply:Incoming Server: pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com


outgoing server: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com.
Reply:You'll have to have the premium service from Yahoo to use their mail server.
Reply:On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.


Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.


Click POP3, and then click Next.


Under User Information, do the following:


In the Your Name box, type your full name the way that you want it to appear to other people.


In the E-mail Address box, type your e-mail user name, followed by @yahoo.com.


Under Server Information, do the following:


In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type pop.mail.yahoo.com.


In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type smtp.mail.yahoo.net.


Under Logon Information, do the following:


In the User Name box, type your user name. Do not include @yahoo.com.


In the Password box, type your password.


Select the Remember password check box.


Note You have the option to have Outlook remember your password by typing it in the Password box and selecting the Remember password check box. Having Outlook remember your password means that you won't have to type your password each time you access the account; however, it also means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer. Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.





To verify that your account is working, click Test Account Settings. If there is missing or incorrect information, such as your password, you will be prompted to supply or correct it. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.


Click More Settings.


On the General tab, under Mail Account, type Yahoo! Mail.


Click the Outgoing Server tab, and then select the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication check box.


Click Use same settings as my incoming mail server, and then click OK.


Click Next, and then click Finish.


Notes





Do not select the Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) check box.


Unless specified by Yahoo! Mail, all server and address entries are typed in lowercase letters.

Reply:Yahoo will not work with outlook, unless you subscribe to their premium service with pop 3 mail. Gmail, earthlink, will work with Outlook. When you get one of those, I will be able to help you.
