How do I configure POP settings for Microsoft Outlook 2000 so I can use it with The Yahoo! Mail SMTP?

Answer 1

Go to your email options/settings: point to the following servers

* IMAP: imap.next.mail.yahoo.com (incoming)
* SMTP: smtp.next.mail.yahoo.com (outgoing)
* You will need to enter your Yahoo! ID and password to sign into Yahoo!

Answer 2

Yahoo! Mail supports smtp for paying clients only. In this case the outgoing server is smtp.yahoo.com, and make sure you authenticate before sending the email out.

Answer 3

contact yahoo. If you have the free email account with yahoo you won't be able to do it. But if you have the pay one then they will give you the POP3 address and smtp address.

Yahoo! Mail users can read their email in Outlook by subscribing to the Yahoo! Mail Plus service. This service allows you to use Outlook or another POP3 client to access and manage your Yahoo! Mail messages.

If you are a Mail Plus user, then follow the directions outlined below:
