From: Wiley C on 17 Feb 2010 01:59 Incoming & outgoing server names are provided by your ISP. Yahoo is not an ISP. Examples of ISPs are Cable One and Qwest DSL. Outlook can be used with Yahoo. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-36.html Which version of Outlook are you using? Use your favorite search engine, Bing, yahoo, Google, etc. Search terms: "outlook 2007" yahoo configure NOTE: if your version of Outlook is NOT 2007, replace 2007 with your version of Yahoo.

Examples of ISPs are Cable One and Qwest DSL. Wrong. Incoming and outgoing server names are provided by the mail service provider. That may (or may not) be the ISP. For most people it is, but not for all. For anyone using, say, AT&T or BT Internet as their ISP, the mail service provider is Yahoo. So, Yahoo is a mail service provider and there are Yahoo incoming and outgoing servers. > Outlook can be used with Yahoo. > http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-36.html Notice the "Mail Plus" there. That means for yahoo.com (or .ca) addresses, one must pay for the mail services Yahoo provides. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
