That would depend. If your ISP happens to be one that has agreements with
Yahoo for various services (AT&T, formerly SBCGlobal, would be an example),
then yes, sort of. You get additional Yahoo services if you have an account
with such an ISP.

If your ISP is not affiliated with Yahoo, then you would need to buy into
Yahoo Mail Plus!, something like $20.00/year. That gives you POP3 access.
Then you just set it up like any other POP3 account. Here's a link on how
to set that up:

Otherwise, you'll need a proxy. This can be installed on your computer and
in response to a POP3 request from Outlook to Yahoo for a message download
it handles the particulars from HTTP and converts that back to POP3, all
invisible to Outlook. These programs usually include an SMTP interface that
allows Outlook to send as if it was using an SMTP server. An example is
YPOPS. Here's a link for that:
http://ypopsemail.com/
An possibility is FreePOPS. Here's a link for that:
http://freepops.org/

In some case, "Yahoo Delivers" will allow POP3 and SMTP access. As far as I
can tell, this is spotty. Here's a link for that:

No one but a boob is going to respond to you via e-mail. That's a trick
by spammers to get boobs to divulge their true e-mail address. If you
have the time to post here, you have the time to return here to review
any replies.

ALWAYS REVIEW your post before submitting it. You want someone ELSE to
understand your post, not just you. If English is not your native
language, best to announce that. You might also want to have 2 parts to
your post: one written in your native language and another in what you
think is a good translation to a non-native language. There may be
posters here that do understand your native language.

You never mentioned to WHICH regional domain for Yahoo Mail that you are
trying to connect. Yahoo.com is the USA domain. They do not provide
access to their POP and SMTP mail hosts for free accounts. You will
have to pay them to get that access. You could try using YahooPOPs to
access freebie Yahoo Mail accounts but it is not 100% reliable. It is a
screen- and URL-scraping utility to navigate the webmail pages for the
Yahoo webmail frontend to the Yahoo Mail service. It runs as a local
POP-to-HTTP proxy that lets you connect your POP e-mail client to it and
then it connects via HTTP to Yahoo Mail to do the screen/URL scraping in
trying to access your account. After using it for several years, the
best stability that I could reach was having to kill and reload the
YahooPOPs program about two or three times per week as it would go
unresponsive or get stuck after an mail session error.

Yahoo Mail will periodically issue an intervening CAPTCHA security web
page after you login using their webmail interface to ensure a human is
actually using that account. YahooPOPs can't handle this properly. It
tries but when you answer the CAPTCHA that it shows it is submitted in a
new mail session at Yahoo Mail which would have generated a totally
different CAPTCHA image. When you get the alert from YahooPOPs, the
only way to get around the login impasse is to use the webmail interface
to Yahoo Mail, answer the CAPTCHA prompt, and then be rid of that
problem for a few more months. YahooPOPs does work but not reliably
enough for me to bother continue using it. Anytime Yahoo changes their
webmail screens or the URLs used to navigate between them, YahooPOPs
will fail to navigate Yahoo Mail's webmail interface and you have to
wait until the author gets around to patching his code.

If you want any access to a freebie Yahoo Mail account other than the
webmail interface, YahooPOPs is doable but not reliable (well, not
enough for me, that is). Paying them to get POP/SMTP mail host access
is the most reliable access method. Some regional Yahoo Mail domains
still permit access to their POP/SMTP mail hosts for freebie accounts.
I think the .au domain is one of them. I have to guess that you're
trying to use Yahoo.com.

"some problem" says absolutely NOTHING about what *is* the problem. No
one here is standing behind your shoulder to see what your finger is
pointing at. If you don't describe it (in detail) then don't expect
anyone to guess what "it" is.

Usually you get one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go
on (no details, no versions, no context), usually they will just move on
to the next post and never return to yours. Go read:

In addition:
- Do NOT describe an error message.
- Do NOT summarize an error message.
- Do NOT paraphrase an error message.
- Do NOT truncate an error message.
- Do show the ENTIRE message (but munge/star out personal info,
like your username).
