[sadkins]

I need to know if yahoo mail is a POP 3 or if it considered http or something
else, I am unsure, also if anyone knows what the URL server addres for yahoo
mail, that would be very helpful. Thank you.

Since you have not provided what version of Microsoft Outlook you have, I will assume that you are using
either Microsoft Outlook 2002 (XP) or Microsoft Outlook 2003.
