Outlook 2004 - Configuring account properties

[Rick]

I'm trying to check my work email from home, and was told to use Outlook
Express.

I normally use yahoo as my personal email at home.

After writing down / copying the server account properties from a PC at work
that uses Outlook... I entered that same info into Outlook at home.

It immediately retrieved my entire inbox from my personal yahoo account, and
moved it completely from yahoo over to Outlook. Now my yahoo inbox is empty.

But I still cannot use, send or receive email from Outlook.

Question 1 : Where can I look to learn how to correctly configure Outlook
account properties so I can send and receive email?

Question 2 : Is there any way to restore my inbox back to yahoo. I suppose
once I'm able to send from Outlook, I can forward everything...(it'll have
new timestamps unfortunately) But at least it'll be there.

There is no such thing as Outlook 2004 and you also refer to Outlook
Express.

Note that this is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.
