Hello everybody,
First time posting. I am fairly new to computers so bare with me
please.I have XP and sbcglobal.net is my main mail box. I would like my old
email, which is yahoo.com to be my secondary mailbox because I still receive
yahoo mail on a differnt PC in the House. I would like Yahoo mail go to my
OutLook express6 mailbox but I don't know how to configure this setup. I
tried Outlook help but didn't understand it. Is there anyone who can help me
in the easiest way possible?

Thank You

Maybe this will help:
Start Outlook Express.
On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
In the Internet Accounts dialog box, click Add, and then click Mail.
In the Display Name box, type the name that you want others to see when you
send a message, and then click Next.
In the E-mail Address box, type the e-mail address for the account that you
are using (for example, "(e-mail address removed)"), and then click Next.
Under E-mail Server Names, click the appropriate incoming e-mail server type
(POP3 is the default type), and then type the names of your incoming and
outgoing e-mail servers. Click Next.
Your ISP (sbcglobal.net) provides this information. If you don't know this
information, contact your ISP.
Type your POP account name and password in the POP Account Name and Password
boxes. Click Next.
In the Internet Mail Account Name box, type a name to identify the mail
account that you are configuring. This is known as the "friendly" name for
the account. Click Next.
If you click Use my phone line to connect, you are prompted to either create
a new Dial-Up Networking connection or use an existing one. If Dial-Up
Networking has been configured for your ISP, click Use an existing dial-up
connection, click the name for your Dial-Up Networking connection in the
list, and then click Next.
Click Finish.

You won't be able to do this unless you have a paid-for, premium account
with Yahoo. (Unless you live in the UK......)

Sorry, my wife doesn't permit me to bare with anybody but her. ;-).

Sorry, but you can't do this (assuming that your yahoo mail account is a
free one).

Filter the (e-mail address removed) mail to a user-created folder using a Message
Rule.
