Yahoo Mail and Outlook 2007

I have a Yahoo Business E-mail account and am trying to use Outlook 2007 to
manage that account. Does Outlook 2007 not support Yahoo's e-mail program?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Which "program" are you using? Or are you just using Yahoo! Mail POP3
access?

Thanks to all for the replies. I do have POP3 access with the Yahoo account
and all other users in my company have no trouble receiving their Yahoo-based
mail (although we use Yahoo Mail to manage our (e-mail address removed) e-mail) in
their Outlook. The catch seems to be that I'm the only one with Outlook 2007
and it's not working. I'm getting an "object can not be found" error message
when I try to send/receive after setting up the Outlook account. That's why
I was thinking the problem was with Outlook 2007's compatability with Yahoo
Business e-mail.

Thoughts? Thanks again for the help!!!

Try a new profile (Control panel, Mail) - that error often means a corrupt
address book service. If you want to use an existing PST file, use the
steps at http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/2007_profile.htm -
specifically the last section.

Unfortunately, that didn't work either. Still getting the "The operation
failed. The object can not be found." error...

I'm following Yahoo's instructions and applying the following server settings:

Incoming Mail (POP3)
pop.bizmail.yahoo.com
Use SSL, port: 995

Outgoing Mail (SMTP)
smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com
Use SSL, port: 465; authentication required

No clue what to do from here...

The object can't be found error usually means something like the address
book etc - not the mail settings. Bad mail settings will just not send.

Have you tried repair? (office diagnostics)

No luck yet again - the Diagnostics found nothing wrong.

I don't have any address book listings whatsoever so not sure how to
approach that one. I'm wide open to any/all ideas...

Thanks so much!
