how to send out email with yahoo account

[Guest]

I installed Office 2003 and I can't send email or receive it in Outlook. I
get an error message "Task http://www.yahoo.com- Sending report error
(0x800CCC33) : Access to the account was denied. Verify that your username
and password are correct. The server responded 'Forbidden'."

You must be a paid subscriber to use Yahoo! mail. For more information,
check their help files.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

After furious head scratching, mark diano asked:

www.yahoo.com is their *WEB* site, not their mail server host. Who told
you to connect to their web site to get e-mail? Even YOU know that you
go to http://mail.yahoo.com to use their webmail interface. If you have
a paid Yahoo account (so you get access to their POP3 and SMTP mail
servers), check their Mail help pages. That's where I've found the
information on what are the IP names for their mail servers that I use
in configuring an account with them.

I don't use Yahoo's paid service. I use YahooPOPs which is a local
protocol converter proxy (POP3 to HTTP) so I can use their freebie
accounts. That will take a bit more effort but obviously however you
think you are supposed to connect to Yahoo is way wrong. Tell us what
are your server settings in the account you have defined in Outlook.
Was it a POP3 account?

If you want to use your POP3 e-mail client with Yahoo, your choices are:

- Pay for Yahoo's premium service which includes access to their POP3
and SMTP mail servers.

- Use YahooPOPs with their freebie accounts.

Since Yahoo appends their promotional spam signature onto all your
outbound e-mails that are sent when using their webmail interface (and
to which YahooPOPs connects), I would suggest NOT sending outbound
e-mails through Yahoo. The spam signature makes your e-mails look
amateurish. Instead use your ISP's SMTP server for outbound e-mails,
and YahooPOPs for inbound e-mails. I believe the spam signature is
absent if you use their paid service.

Assuming you are a paid Yahoo subscriber, did you add your Yahoo e-mail
address in the Outlook TOOLS/ACCOUNTS/ADD menu?

If you follow the interent accounts wizard, there should be no major problem
in setting up your Yahoo account in Outlook.

You just need to know:

- your e-mail address ([email protected])
- pop.mail.yahoo.com is the incoming POP mail server
- smtp.mail.yahoo.com is the outgoing SMTP mail server
- incoming mail server username
(yourusername without the @yahoo.com)
- password (optional)
- whether or not you want Outlook to remember your password

- MUST CLICK the "my server requires authentication" box

There could be some other parameters, but I just use the Internet Account
wizard's default parameters.

I just choose to send (not receive) e-mail through Outlook/2000, and don't
know if the wizard for Outlook/2003 is different.

Good luck!

How are you supposed to set up YahooPops with a freebie account?

Why bother to explain it if you aren't going to use it? If you download
it, there are instructions on how your configure your e-mail client to
use it and how to configure it. The short story is: install it, have it
load on startup, configure your e-mail account settings to point at it
as a POP3 server. Try and see.

There are also forums you can visit specifically for users and the
authors to help each other. They are far more focused on using
YahooPOPs. This newsgroup is for Outlook.

Personally I remained back on the prior version (0.5). The latest
version doesn't work for HTTPS (SSL via HTTP) connects to Yahoo to
encrypt the login credentials (although MD5 hashing still works). They
are also playing around with cookies in trying to emulate a persistent
connection and I found it got in my way, so you could configure it to
cache Yahoo's cookies for zero seconds. I had some other niggling
troubles with 0.6 so I stayed back on 0.5.
