Help with Outlook setup

I have Outlook on my home computer and I'm trying to set it up to access mail from a yahoo account but it's not working. is this possible without me upgrading to the pay version of yahoo mail?

I tried going to Tools -->email accounts--> add a new email account

then i'm stuck - is this pop3, http etc for server type?? (microsoft exchange, imap, or additional server type are my other options)  http is the one that mentions Hotmail, so i assumed it was the one for yahoo but i can't get it to work.

Re: Help with Outlook setup

  • Good question.  I tried to set it up a couple years ago and couldn't figure it out, so I gave up.
  • I always thought yahoo was pop3, but I could be wrong.  Did you try that one yet?
  • other settings might differ depending on the version of Oultbook you are using - google "outlook (version) and yahoo mail settings" or something like that.  you should get something useful, lol

    No because that one required even more server info (incoming, POP3 and outgoing, SMTP) haha. i have a feeling i probably have to spring for the yahoo upgrade to get that info.

    you probably don't have to pay for it just to find out that info - do you want me to help?

  • Way back when, Yahoo made you pay for access via Outlook.  I don't know if they've changed this, it's been years since I paid for it. 

  • here is the code for the Yahoo Plus accounts. It might work for you:

    Incoming mail server (pop3): plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
    Outgoing mail server (SMPT) : plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com

    okay, going back to being a nerd now.

  • thanks guys. i tried using the stuff you posted victoria, and it still doesn't work (i even found a tutorial online that had a step by step but nothing). so i broke down and paid for the upgrade.
