Answer 1

You wont be able to do that until you have Yahoo PLUS service which cost around $7.95 a month.

However you can try these steps:

Open your Outlook Express e-mail client. Click on Tools - Accounts. Click the Add button, select Mail from the popup.

In the Display name text box, please type your full name or whatever you would like people to see in the `From' field and click Next. Enter your Yahoo e-mail address and click Next. Select POP3 as `My incoming mail server.'

Please type `localhost' as your Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server and type `localhost' as the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server and click Next.

In the Account name field, type your full Yahoo e-mail address ([e-mail]). In the Password field, enter your Yahoo password.

If you do not wish to type in your password every time you check your mail, please tick the Remember password box and click Next. Then click Finish.

Now in the Internet Accounts window, click on the new account named localhost and click Properties. Select `Servers' tab and in the bottom tick the checkbox of `My server requires authentication' and click Settings button.

Select `Log on using' and enter your Yahoo Mail address as the Account name and your Yahoo Mail password as the password. Next select the `Advanced' tab and increase the Server Timeout to `Long' (5 minutes). Click OK and close. Now your configuration settings are ended.

Yahoo charges money to do that. Gmail, however does not.
