How to setup an account

Guest

Hello everyone,
I recently wanted to try Microsoft Outlook 2003 on my computer, because I
have heard it is easier to check mails with Outlook. So I tried to create a
new account, and I am doing SOMETHING wrong but I don't know what it is. I
want to be able to check my yahoo mail and I don't know if that goes under
POP3 or the other three categories. Also, I tested the account and Outlook
mananged to establihs a network connection, find outgoing/incoming server,
but could NOT log in. It made no sense to me. I did this using the POP3
category. I set up the Incoming mail server (POP3) as mail.yahoo.com and the
same for the Outgoing mail server (SMTP). I have NO idea what is the problem,
and I would really appreciate someones help.
Thanks in advance
