I'm setting up outlook express. What are the pop3 and smtp servers for yahoo e-mail?

Answer 1

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:
To configure your POP settings for Microsoft Outlook 2002 (sometimes referred to as Outlook XP) and 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"

Answer 2

Some time back, when Yahoo decided on charging users for its POP3 service, many users were upset with the move. Yahoo users need not despair anymore, for there is a new free POP3 server that enables access to Yahoo mail. You can configure Yahoo!POP as the mail proxy on your local host and download all mail or leave a copy on the server. All this and more on IE6 SP1 Gold and free IE-add-ins in this week’s freeloader.

Answer 3

Yahoo doesn't let you use POP3 and SMTP anymore. You have to use the webmail (http://mail.yahoo.com)

Unless you are a subscriber of either the premium mail or one of their partners like SBC/AT&T, then you have to check the settings with your phone company.
