You can't use Outlook with Yahoo mail unless you pay Yahoo for POP mail. Use
your browser instead.

Yahoo! uses entirely different servers with different capabilities. Can you
put your house key in your car's ignition and expect it to work? Why would
you expect two rival mail services to accept the same configuration?
