Set up Yahoo in Outlook - how do I do that?

[Suzanna]

Hi -
I'm trying to figure out how to set up my Yahoo mail
account in Outlook 2002. I can't seem to get it to work.
Does anyone have any ideas? Please email me at
(e-mail address removed).
Thanks!

Why would Microsoft support some other webmail provider than itself? Their
products also don't support all the other webmail providers, either.
Microsoft only supports MSN and Hotmail webmail accounts.

Use YahooPOPs if you want to access your Yahoo e-mails in a POP3 e-mail
client (Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, whatever). You define a POP3
account in your e-mail client for Yahoo. You have your e-mail client use
YahooPOPs which is a POP3-to-HTTP protocol converter proxy. YahooPOPs then
makes the connection to Yahoo.

yahoo doesn't support the webdav protocol that outlook needs to access
webmail.

I'm not sure about webdav or if it's even necessary for POP access,
but Yahoo does support POP access, they just restrict it to their
paying members...

On Yahoo, you need to setup POP3 access. This is a service for which
you have to pay a modest subscription charge. See
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/plus/about/about-04.html. Yahoo
provides full instructions at http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
