Setting Up email account

Guest

I have tried continually to set up my yahoo email accounts. It says I can't
connect to the server (although I have typed in the correct addresses as
given by Microsoft) and then it also says server doesn't rcognise my password
or user ID. How can I contact Yahoo to get the right addresses for incoming
/ outgoing servers?

You have to activate POP3/SMTP on your Yahoo WEB site or it won't work.

That said, you wrote:

"(although I have typed in the correct addresses as given by Microsoft)"

What's Microsoft got to do with it?

Not true. I use a yahoo.es account and use it to send and receive free
through whatever email program I want. How do you know the OP didn't pay for
his? Why do you assume the OP uses yahoo.com or yahoo.ca?

I use Ypops and am very happy with it. download it from sourceforge.net or
type yahoo pops in your browser.

Correct. Apparently Yahoo! wishes only North American customers to pay for
mail accounts.

You probably signed up before yahoo disabled free pop/smtp access.

With Yahoo.es you can sign up today and receive and send with OE, for
example, today, free as the air you're breathing. With the advent of GMail,
I suspect yahoo may quietly remove having to pay for POP3 access from
yahoo.com and yahoo.ca.

I have a yahoo.com account from 1997 and I cannot POP3 it ... when you
signed up is irrevelant.
