outlook 2007 yahoo or hotmail setup problem

[Guest]

Hi,
I have been trying to set my hotmail and yahoo account on outlook 2007 beta
2. I was told must have subscription service with hotmail to have this
privilege. if not why it is stalling with password request.
Secondly, outlook keep repeating itself asking for password authentication
for my HTTP hotmail account or yahoo account setting up on pop.mailyahoo.com
or smtp. My gmail account works perfect. I did follow the exact step by step
approach including not to click encryption and reply authentications and so
on.
Finally my RSS feed is not working either. I have a feeling somehow these
all are inter-related.
This is bugging me dearly and I would like to get to the bottom of it.
Please help.

you need a subscription to both of these for them to work in Outlook 2007.
Do you have the paid subscriptions?

hmm. no subscription to either of the services. Thank to gmail it works
without a subscription.

you don't need a subscription to GMail, it uses POP/SMTP. Yahoo Web mail
can't be used in OL, you need Yahoo Pop, which is a subscription. Hotmail
works for me without a subscription.

I"m well aware of what works with what and that gmail works as POP3.
Hotmail works in Outlook 2007 for you without a subscription?

As I've mention on my question, yahoo do give out pop option to get emals
which i am unable to use. It keep repeating the password verifications. This
means no HTTP mail for OL2007 unless I have a subscription the http
hotmail or other types of account setting option is given. Sounds not right...

Yes, Hotmail works for me in OL 2007 without a paid subscription. I've been
using Hotmail in OL since OL XP I think and it has always "worked", although
at times it is flakey.
