how to configure outlook express to use with yahoo?

Answer 1

Go to the Tools->Accounts menu in Outlook Express and add a new Mail account, following the instructions in the wizard until you come across the E-mail Server Names page.

In the drop-down menu, make sure POP3 is selected and enter the following information:

Incoming mail: pop.mail.yahoo.com (or co.uk if in the UK)

Outgoing mail: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (or co.uk if in the UK)

Then, on the next page, supply your Yahoo! account name and, optionally, your password. (If you don't supply a password at this stage you'll be prompted for it every time mail is sent between you and the Yahoo! mail servers.)

Now complete the wizard and a new mail account will be available to Outlook Express.

Double-click the new mail account and, on the "General" tab, ensure that the "Include this account when receiving mail or syncronizing" checkbox is selected. Also, if you're on dialup as opposed to cable/ADSL, proceed to the "Connection" tab and make sure that the "Always connect to this account using:" checkbox is cleared.

To successfully send outgoing mail, you'll need to make your way to the "Servers" tab, select "My server requires authentication", and click on the "Settings" button immediately to the right. Now select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server".

Close all the dialog boxes that opened while modifying the account and hit the Send/Recv button in Outlook Express.

Addendum:

A good practice is to keep a copy of all your mail on the Yahoo! servers so that you can get to them, if need be, by the webmail interface. To do this go back to the Tools->Accounts menu, double-click the mail account you created earlier and select the "Advanced" tab.

At the bottom of the dialog, in the section entitled "Delivery", ensure that "Leave a copy of messages on server" is selected.

Further Addendum:

Point in hand courtesy of paul633uk: Outlook Express has been successfully exploited in the past. Though, for all intents and purposes, the most recent version of Outlook Express is considered secure enough for general use. Such exploits were possible because when an e-mail in the message list is selected, it is opened and shown in the lower panel. If that e-mail contained malicious code it would be automatically processed.

The benefit of the Yahoo! webmail interface, even though similar to Outlook Express, is the simple fact that web browsers tend to take security more seriously than mere e-mail clients, and are often configured (by default) to limit just what code (typically ActiveX controls) may be executed on a page. The downsides, though, are the frequently publicised web browser exploitations that seem to rear their ugly head's every other week.
