Greetings everyone.......
I have Office for Mac, (Running Panther, OSX 10.3) and I am trying to set up
Microsoft Entourage with my Yahoo! Mail account, but every setting I try to
put in is wrong, (even when the program sets the settings itself, and this
makes me think that Microsoft just doesn't want me having a yahoo address at
all!!!)and it wont accept it. Does anyone know if Yahoo is a pop server or
IMAP server, and what the correct address for the incoming AND outgoing mail
servers are?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

For about the past year or more, Yahoo only lets you access its accounts via
an email program like Entourage if you pay them. Do you have that type of
set-up? If you do, they should have told you exactly what the POP and SMTP
(sending) server addresses are. Have they?

Please "Reply To Newsgroup" to reply to this message. Emails will be
ignored.

PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using -
**2004**, X or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions
otherwise.
