Microsoft Outlook Express

Yahoo! Mail users can read their email in Outlook Express by subscribing to the Yahoo! Mail Plus service. This service allows you to use Outlook Express or another POP3 client to access and manage your Yahoo! Mail messages.



If you are a Mail Plus user, then follow the directions outlined below:

Outlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages. Here's how:



From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."

Select the "Mail" tab.

Click the "Add" button.

From the Add menu, click "Mail."

In the text box labeled Display Name, type your name and click "Next."

In the Email Address box, type your Yahoo! Mail address (be sure to include "@yahoo.com") and click "Next."

Under "My incoming mail server is a..." select "POP3."

Type "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) Server box.

Type "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box.

Click "Next."

In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com").

In the Password box, type your Yahoo! Mail password.

If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the "Remember password" box.

Do not check the boxes labeled "Log on using Secure..."

Click "Next."

Click "Finish."

Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on:



From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."

Select the "Mail" tab.

Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."

Select the "Servers" tab.

Check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication."

Click "OK."

To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server:



From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."

Select the "Mail" tab.

Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."

Select the "Advanced" tab.

In the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on the Yahoo! Mail server as well as on your local computer. Do not check this box if you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server once you have received them in Outlook Express.

If your ISP blocks port 25 or if you're unable to send email, then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change, please follow the directions below:





From the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts"

Select your Yahoo! POP account and click on the "Properties" button

Click on the "Advanced" tab

Next to "Outgoing server (SMTP), change port 25 to 587

Click "Apply", then click "OK" and "Close"

Regarding Yahoo mail account download, Yahoo Mail disabled free access to its POP3 service in April 2002. So you have to install a third-party application to access Yahoo mail into your Outlook Express client.



YPOPs! is an application that provides POP3 access to Yahoo Mail. This application emulates a POP3 server and enables popular e-mail clients such as Outlook, Netscape, Eudora, Mozilla, etc., to download e-mail from Yahoo accounts. This application is more like a gateway. It provides a POP3 server interface at one end to talk to e-mail clients and an HTTP client (browser) interface at the other that allows it to talk to Yahoo.



YahooPOPs is a freeware (GPL) application. You can download YahooPOPs!/Windows version 0.6 (filesize 1.13MB) from the following URL: http://yahoopops.sourceforge.net/modules.php?op=



modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewsdownload&sid=2.



To download Yahoo mail into your Outlook Express, please follow these steps: First, you will have to install YahooPOPs application. Then start yahoopops by start - Programs - YahooPOPs - YahooPOPs.



This will sit on the system tray. Next, you will have to configure Yahoo mail account into your Outlook Express e-mail client.



Open your Outlook Express e-mail client. Click on Tools - Accounts. Click the Add button, select Mail from the popup.



In the Display name text box, please type your full name or whatever you would like people to see in the `From' field and click Next. Enter your Yahoo e-mail address and click Next. Select POP3 as `My incoming mail server.'



Please type `localhost' as your Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server and type `localhost' as the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server and click Next.



In the Account name field, type your full Yahoo e-mail address ([e-mail]). In the Password field, enter your Yahoo password.



If you do not wish to type in your password every time you check your mail, please tick the Remember password box and click Next. Then click Finish.



Now in the Internet Accounts window, click on the new account named localhost and click Properties. Select `Servers' tab and in the bottom tick the checkbox of `My server requires authentication' and click Settings button.



Select `Log on using' and enter your Yahoo Mail address as the Account name and your Yahoo Mail password as the password. Next select the `Advanced' tab and increase the Server Timeout to `Long' (5 minutes). Click OK and close. Now your configuration settings are ended.



Please note that when you check Yahoo mails on Outlook Express, you will have to make sure that the YahooPOPs stay on system tray. If you do not invoke YahooPOPs application, you will get an error message.



Now just by clicking the Send/Recv button of Outlook Express, you will receive Yahoo mails in your inbox folder.



If you would like to receive Yahoo mails separately, either use mail rule to move Yahoo mails to one folder or Add new Identity in Outlook Express and repeat the above procedure on the new Identity.
