Follow the following directions. It will emulate the Mail Plus configuration. Normally you are supposed to sign up with MAIL PLUS on yahoo to get pop/smtp connection to their email server, but this will work too if you want it for free. MAIL PLUS is a yahoo upgrade and you have to pay a fee.





Install YPOPs! and make sure it is running.


You can get YPOPS at http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/YP...


Open Outlook Express.


Select Tools | Accounts... from the menu in Outlook Express.


Click Add and select Mail....


Type your name.


Click Next %26gt;.


Enter your Yahoo! Mail address ("hmmzl34@yahoo.com", for example).


Click Next %26gt; again.


Make sure POP3 is selected under My incoming mail server is a ___ server..


Enter "localhost" under Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server:.


Type "localhost" under Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: as well.


Click Next %26gt;.


Type your Yahoo! Mail user name under Account name:.


The user name is your Yahoo! Mail address sans "@yahoo.com".


In this example, the user name is "hmmzl34".


Enter your Yahoo! Mail password under Password:.


Click Next %26gt;.


Click Finish.


Highlight localhost in the Internet Accounts window.


Click Properties.


Type "Yahoo! Mail" under Mail Account.
