Yahoo and Vista

[Ruthie]

I tried to set up my yahoo email account to my Microsoft Email but it didn't
works.

Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
How can I set it up? My AOL works just fine.

Do you pay for the Yahoo Plus account?
If you have the free account, you can't access the POP server.

Hi Dave,

No, I didn't know I have to pay for the Yahoo Plus Acct.

Is there any free email account that I may use with my Microsoft Email?

I also have AOL, Hotmail and gmail.

Thanks

Windows Mail cannot access any webmail account, like the free Yahoo &
Hotmail. It can only access POP and IMAP accounts.
So it can access AOL (IMAP) and Gmail (POP or IMAP).

The newer Windows Live Mail can access POP and IMAP accounts, plus
Hotmail/Live accounts.
So it can access AOL, Gmail and Hotmail.

What I did; I downloaded Window Live Mail and I was able to add all my
hotmail accounts and AOL. I am give up with Yahoo, I don't need the premium
service from them. I just got my email from yahoo at my blackberry just
fine. No fair that Yahoo make you pay them for forwarding the email to
your own computer.
Just a personal opinion.

Thanks all for your help.

Try changing outgoing (SMTP) to (587), works for me!

I don't understand why you consider Yahoo "no fair".
Mail service providers are not required to provide you with
free email service. The massive mail server farm, the staff
required to run it, and the big pipe Internet connectivity,
are all very expensive.
