Answer 1

Install YPOPs! and make sure it is running.
Open Outlook.
Select Tools | E-Mail Accounts... from the menu.
Make sure Add a new e-mail account is selected.
Click Next >.
Check POP3.
Click Next >.
Type your name under Your Name:.
Enter your Yahoo! Mail address under E-mail Address:.
Type "localhost" under both Incoming mail server (POP3): and Outgoing mail server (SMTP):.
Type your Yahoo! ID under User Name:.
The Yahoo! ID is also the first part of your Yahoo! Mail address, i.e. everything before "@yahoo.com". If your Yahoo! Mail address is "[e-mail]", the ID is "hmmzl34".
Enter your Yahoo! Mail password under Password:.
Click More Settings ....
Go to the Outgoing Server tab.
Make sure My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication is checked.
Leave Use same settings as my incoming mail server selected.

Currently, YPOPs! does not work with the Yahoo! Mail Beta. If you are on the Beta and want to access your Yahoo! Mail account in Outlook, use the Switch Back link to opt out.

Answer 2

if your yahoo mail account has a local domain say .uk or .in then you can setup in OUTLOOK.

If your id is [e-mail] . Then you cannot recieve mails from your yahoo account to outlook


However you can download a small utility called YPOPs which is free to download, Irregardless of your domain you can recieve all the mails to your outlook

Answer 3

It is a Yahoo! Mail Premium Service. Refer to the website in my source for Yahoo!'s official help on this matter - the coverage is rather extensive.

To configure your POP settings for Microsoft Outlook XP & 2003, follow these steps:

From the Tools menu, select "Email Accounts." You may have to click the arrows.
Select the radio button next to "Add a new email account" and click the "Next" button.
Select the radio button next to "POP3" and click the "Next" button.
Enter the following information:
User Information

Your Name: Enter your name as you would like it to appear in the "From" field of your outgoing messages.
Email Address: Enter your full Yahoo! Mail address (for example, "[e-mail]").
Server Information

Incoming mail server (POP3):pop.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Login Information
User Name: Enter your Yahoo! ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com").
Password: Enter your Yahoo! password.

Do not check the box next to "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)."
Click the "More Settings" box and select the "Outgoing Server" tab.
Check the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication."
If you would like to keep a copy of your email messages on the Yahoo! Mail server, select the "Advanced" tab. Check the box next to "Leave a copy of messages on the server."
Click the "OK" button.
Click the "Next" button on the Email Account Wizard, then click "Finished."
Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server requires authentication. To turn this setting on, follow these steps:


Click "Tools," then select "Email Accounts."
Select "View or change existing email accounts" and click "Next."
Select your Yahoo! Mail account and click the "Change" button on the right.
Click the "More Settings..." button in the bottom-right corner of the Email Accounts window.
In the Internet Email Settings window, click the "Outgoing Server" tab. Ensure that the box is checked next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication."
Click the "Advanced" tab and ensure that you have not selected "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" under the incoming (POP3) or outgoing (SMTP) port settings.
To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server, follow these steps:


From the Tools menu, choose "Email Accounts."
Select the radio button next to "Edit an existing account" and click the "Next" button.
Double-click the Yahoo! account.
Select the "Advanced" tab.
In the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on both the Yahoo! Mail server and on your local computer. If you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server after you have received them in Outlook, do not check this box.
If your ISP blocks port 25 or if you're unable to send email, then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change, please follow the directions below:


From the "Tools" menu, select "E-mail Accounts"
Select "View or Change existing email accounts" and click on "Next"
Select your Yahoo! POP account and click on the "Change" button
Next, click on "More Settings"
Click on the "Advanced" tab
Next to "Outgoing server (SMTP), change port 25 to 587
Click "OK", then click "Next" and "Finish"


....remember u need a yahoo premium account for configuring POP mail in outlook!

All the best buddy
