I am trying to set my Outlook up to direct connect to my yahoo email account.
Can this be done? If so, how?
 
Only if you are using a paid account - if you are, then Yahoo! has the help
files to read for setup.

You mean only if you use yahoo.com or yahoo.ca. If you use any other,
say, yahoo.es, one can most certainly use Outlook or Outlook Express to
receive mail and not pay Yahoo one thin dime.

Since I am in the states and the OP is as well, advice about other versions
of Yahoo! is irrelevant.

Um, it doesn't matter where you are. You can sign up for yahoo.es,
yahoo.co.uk etc. to your heart's content so my advice is *very*
relevant. You, apparently, just don't like to be corrected.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of people other then Americans on this
planet.
And yes, some of them even want to live in the US. For different reasons.
So I would like to thank --Alias-- for his comments!

I didn't realize that people in the U.S. were forbidden from using
other national versions of Yahoo!

No, I, unlike you, am trying to help the OP. You just like saying, "No,
you can't do that".

Fact: With the exception of Yahoo.com and Yahoo.ca, Yahoo mail can be
used with Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird and most email programs
for FREE.

Fact: you said one had to pay to do it which is incorrect.

You're the troll, baby, for providing *erroneous* information. I helped
the OP. You lied and didn't help the OP. What's worse, you decided to
attack my persona instead of admitting you made a mistake.

As a US citizen, let me be the first to apologize for the jingoism of
many "Americans" such as Ms Staples.
And yes, some of them even want to live in the US. For different reasons.
So I would like to thank --Alias-- for his comments!

Anytime. Glad I could be of help.
