Answer 1

First of all, you can't get a FREE Yahoo mail to work with outlook. If you have a Bell South email address through thier deal with Yahoo, then look at the settings that you need in their help section.



But when you are connected with peoplePC, you can't use someone else's email through that. You would need to use the PeoplePC email account.



I actually don't see why you are using two different ISPs when you only have one phone line. That's just plain silly. Install the BellSouth dialer on your PC and use that. This will save you some money. If fact, if you like spending money, then consider the DSL service and/or Cable High speed service. You can both use that at the same time through a router. The high speed will make the internet more fun.

Answer 2

Run the Peoples software on your computer again,before you do it uninstall the previous edition of software.reboot your computer and thereafter reload the software from peoples soft.Bell south is your phone company only which provide you phone services,where people soft is your Internet service provider through or using your telephone line of bell south.Glad that you both have Yahoo services.When you configured your outlook express with Yahoo- I don't think problems persist.You need to use connection sharing wizard or run a home net work wizard and your problem will solve.While running a network wizard you both have similar o/s if not make a floppy disk and run into other computer also.

Answer 3

Bellsouth uses Yahoo for email so the plus account is included. You need the plus account if you want to and they charge for it, but it is pretty cheap. $10 a year I think.



On a seperate matter, you could probably get a broadband account for what you are paying for the two dial ups. A router gets you on-line at the same time. You would be sooooooo much happier.

Answer 4

Outlook Express won't work if you try to use your free yahoo.com email through it. The only way you can use Outlook is to sign up for Yahoo Plus and pay for it. There are few regulations regarding the internet, so there could be no laws prohibiting them from doing this. There is an organization based in Virginia and Geneva, Switzerland with branches throughout the world called the Internet Society (ISOC) which was incorporated as a non-profit organization to influence legislation and laws regarding the internet.



The ISOC claims its mission is: to assure the open development, evolution and use of the Internet for the benefit of all people throughout the world. Its members consist of individuals, corporations, organizations, governments, and universities. ISOC claims membership is currently free- and membership is open to anyone, but when I got on their site I saw they offer two individual membership levels. The sustaining membefship costs $75 annually. Global membership costs $100,000. The list of Global members is long and includes major internet related corporations like Microsoft.



The ISOC was officially formed in 1992 to provide a corporate structure to support the ad-hoc bodies active in the growth of the Internet. If you can or can't do something on the internet, or access sites, it is most llikely because the major corporations who have Global membership like Microsoft have decided, whether for security reasons or other reasons, that you can't use the feature or program unless you pay for it.



None of us want to see laws prohibiting access to the internet. Unless you can convince your legislators to introduce a bill prohibiting any organization or entity from controlling access to the internet, the most you can do is boycott those businesses who try to force you to pay additional fees to use a program for which you've already paid, such as Outlook Express. In addition, Microsoft is notorious for not providing information to fix error messages. A frequent error message you will receive when using Microsoft is Error #404 which you can research on Wikipedia. Error #404 is frequently used when a corporation, organizaiton or individual doesn't want you to access or see an internet site.

Answer 5

acquire Mozilla Thunderbird. i don't understand what proportion cases i've got considered those with MS Outlook subjects, and that i've got in no way considered those with thunderbird subjects. Thunderbird makes use of a similar style of interface, in spite of the fact that it is extra shelter and lots extra valuable. i don't use it on account that i exploit yahoo mail, yet i understand people who do use it, and that they surprisingly advise it.
