you need pop3 access - which means you need to pay for a premium account if
it’s a yahoo.com address or use a 3rd party tool to bring the mail down.

Thanks,
But I think I have a pop3 access. It is a Sbcglobal account. When I posted
this message, Microsoft emailed " This is an e-mail message sent
automatically by Microsoft Office Outlook's Account Manager while testing the
settings for your POP3 account."
Do I still need a premium account?
How do I tell If I have pop3 Access?
Thank for your help.

Neil,
If you have a POP3 acct, it will only download the messages that are in the
Inbox from the web mail interface. I do not believe Yahoo offers IMAP
service for their email accts. If you want the messages that Yahoo
automatically places in its Bulk folder.

You have two choices:
1. Turn off Spam/Bulk Mail filtering on the webmail interface. So that all
your email messages go into the Inbox, where Outlook will retrieve them.
2. With Outlook closed, go to Yahoo Mail interface. Select the messages from
the Bulk Mail folder and Copy/Move to Yahoo Inbox. Then open Outlook and
download the messages into Outlook's Inbox. If you want to leave the
messages on Yahoo, you need to make sure that you set the Yahoo acct in
Outlook, to leave messages on the server.

There's another option as well. Yahoo can be configured to include the Bulk
Mail folder in the download, but flag the mail as [Bulk]. Examine the mail
options.

Brian,
I did not realize that the Premium Accts had that option. I use the free
accts, and have YPOPS download the messages. This is part of the POP
Forwarding settings that are not part of the free accts. So I should have
clarified my statement.
