Answer 1

Short for Post Office Protocol, a protocol used to retrieve e-mail from a mail server. Most e-mail applications (sometimes called an e-mail client) use the POP protocol, although some can use the newer IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol).

There are two versions of POP. The first, called POP2, became a standard in the mid-80's and requires SMTP to send messages. The newer version, POP3, can be used with or without SMTP.

To use, you need software on your computer capable of POP3 (Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express)

To set up:
1. In Outlook 2000, pull down the Tools menu and select Accounts.
2. A window will appear, listing the mail and directory service accounts you have already set up. If you haven't set up Outlook 2000 yet, this box will be empty. Click the button marked Add and select Mail to add a new mail account.
3. The Internet Connection Wizard window will pop up. In the Display name field, enter your full name, then click Next to continue.

4. In the E-mail address field, enter your email address, then click Next to continue.

5. In the E-mail Server Names window:
Select POP3 from the drop-down menu.
Set the Incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server to the POP3 address provided by your email company
Set the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server to the one also provided (if they didn't provide one, leave blank.
Click Next to continue.

6. In the Internet Mail Logon window:
Your Account name should be set to your account name
Your username needs to be set to the username given, and also the one you enter to access webmail.
Your Password is your given password.
If you want Outlook to remember your password, put a checkmark in the box to the left of Remember password. If other people have access to your computer, you may wish to increase your security by not checking this box.
Do not check the Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) box unless told to by the information with your POP3 details.
Click Next to continue.

7. Click Finish to exit the wizard.

8. You will be brought back to the Internet Accounts window. Select your newly created mail account, and click Properties.

9. The Mail Account is the mail profile name. Under Mail Account, type in whatever you would like to refer to it as, for example My Email Account.

10. Select the Servers tab.
Place a checkmark next to My server requires authentication.

11. Click the Settings... button.
Select Use same settings as my incoming mail server.
Click OK.

If you access your email from more than one location, or if you wish to keep a copy on the server in case you want an archive, or you want to have your emails both on your home computer and viewable on webmail, check the box next to Leave a copy of messages on server.
Click OK.

13. Click Close.
14. Quit Outlook and restart the program again for your changes to take effect.

Answer 2

POP3 will work with any e-mail client, including Outlook 2000.

As someone else already noted, you have to pay to get POP3 access to your Yahoo mailbox. It's only $20 a year though, not $20 a month.

Answer 3

listen to me, really. yahoo quit giving pop3 access to basic(free)users some time ago. ypop offers a way around that. all you do is download it, fill in your user name and password and there you go. make sure you have it loaded. just click on the icon and it will show up near you clock. now when you check you mail on outlook or seed something it will work, trust me. just follow the instruction that they offer. if you need more help, contact me at [e-mail]. goodluck

Answer 4

Well, if you are trying to get your outlook to download your yahoo email then it is not possible. You need to upgrade and pay like $20/mth for that service.

There is no way around it, Trust me ive tried.
