e-mail account in Outlook 2000 not working

[Guest]

I am trying to get my Yahoo mail to go to Outlook. I have tried forwarding
Yahoo to my ISP, which works for Express but not Outlook. I get a message
that says server could not be found. I have also tried setting up yahoo for
incoming and outgoing POP and SMTP servers in Outlook, but that doesn't work
in either Outlook or Express. What is frustrating is that this second method
worked fine in my old Windows 98 PC but not in my new XP. Any help would be
much appreciated.

Do you have a paid Yahoo Mail account? You need one to use Yahoo's POP
server.

Yes, I have a paid Yahoo account. As I said, the mail forwards just fine in
Express but not in Outlook. It also worked fine on my old Windows 98 PC, so
I'm wondering if there is a problem with XP.

Thanks.

Thanks, but I know it is set up correctly. I think the problem may be with my
new PC.
