Can I use a MS-Outlook account to access my Yahoo email?
It can be done for free!!





Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)


Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication)


Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com")


Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., user@yahoo.com)


Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password








If you want to use Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or other third party email clients to view your email you have 2 options.


Subscribe to mail plus:

or download and install YPOPS

then follow the directions for your version of outlook here,

If you have trouble with set up, check the YPOPS installation page for alternate set up instructions.

Click on YPOPS link on the left.


Then Click on Configuring email clients towards the bottom.


Choose the appropriate link for your mail client.





I currently utilize version 2.0.0.4 of Thunderbird


and version 0.8.3 of YPOPS (there is a more recent version of YPOPS that you need if you are Yahoo Beta Mail) and have no problems.





Thumbs up are always appreciated if I have truly helped you!!
Reply:only if its a premium service. you have to pay for that, though it is only a yearly charge, and not monthly. otherwise no you cant as the yahoo server wont let you authenticate with them unless you have the premium account which you pay yearly for.
