I am on wireless adsl in the UK & do NOT have the upgrade Yahoo Plus Mail but I have set it up for Yahoo to work via Outlook Express.
The procedure I followed is as below.
Download, install & run a small free program called YPOPS! version 0.8.7.1 from
http://email.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=email&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ypopsemail.com%2F
or from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=52835
To add your Yahoo email address to Outlook Express do as follows:
Open up Outlook Express->tools->Accounts->Mail Tab->click Add button on the right & choose Mail.
1st page enter any name you would like to be known as. Click NEXT
2nd page. Put a spot in the top option & enter your existing yahoo email address. E.G joeblogs@yahoo.com(or.co.uk..whichever it is) Click NEXT.
3rd page. Check that My incoming server is a POP3. In the box for Incoming mail POP IMAP or HTTP server, just put 127.0.0.1
In the box for Outgoing Mail smtp server put the same ie 127.0.0.1. (yes! all you need to put for both is 127.0.0.1) Click NEXT.
On this page put the first part of your yahoo email address, eg if it is joeblogs@yahoo.com, then just put joeblogs.
In next box put in your password & tick remember password. Click FINISH.
Go back into Outlook Express->tools->accounts->mail tab & double click on the mail account called 127.0.0.1
Under General tab make sure there is a tick by include this account when receiving mail or synchronising.
Under Servers tab make sure that nothing is ticked except remember password.
Under Connection tab put a tick in the box next to Always connect to this account using & if you are wireless then choose Local Area Network.
Under Advanced tab, the outgoing mail is port 25 & incoming mail is port 110
look for server timeouts & move the slider bar to the right to full ie 5 minutes.
Do not put in ticks anywhere under this advanced tab except Where it says leave a copy of message on server place a tick.
Click apply & OK
To alter the name of the account in Outlook Express from 127.0.0.1 to a name you prefer, open Outlook Express->Tools->Accounts
Highlight the account name 127.0.0.1 click on properties button on the right & under the heading Mail Account where it says 127.0.0.1 rename it to your chosen name.
Hope this helps...good luck

Yahoo mail does not work with Outlook. You need to either pay for Yahoo premium service or download a 3rd party tool called Ypops to fool yahoo into getting yahoo mail into outlook.

Unless you're a yahoo mail plus subscriber, you cannot
access your mail from Outlook through the POP3 server.

yahoo incomming server is as follows:
pop.yahoo.com
outgoing server is:
smpt.yahoo.com
if you have dsl it is as follows:
pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com (incomming)
smpt.sbcglobal.yahoo.com (outgoing)
