For those of you who use Yahoo for your email address but would like the convenience of reading your mail
 in Outlook Express I've put together a mini tutorial on how to set up both accounts for it to work.

Note:
After a process of elimination I've discovered these instructions will not work using a US based Yahoo address.
Yahoo, in their wisdom, have obviously decided that their American members have nothing better to do with their
money  than pay for POP access using  Yahoo Mail Plus to access this option and therefore pay for the privilege.

However, if you wish to be able to use the Mail Forwarding facility as described in these instructions
 you can create a new Yahoo ID and select Yahoo! Australia or Yahoo! United Kingdom
in the Preferred content box rather than Yahoo! US .

This will then allow access to the POP Access & Forwarding option show below.

Step 1
Open your Yahoo Mail account.
Right click on the Mail tab.
Select Options

Step 2
In the Mail Options window that opens double click on the
POP Access and Forwarding heading.

Step 3
In the Mail Delivery Status window choose Web & POP Access
in Step 1 and in Step 2 select HTML messages. Click on Submit.

Step 4
Print out the Configuration details showing the Incoming & Outgoing Mail Server and your account details
You will need this to set up a new account in Outlook Express.

Step 5
Open Outlook Express.
Click on Tools > Accounts.
Click on the Mail Tab and select your Default account.
Click on Properties > Servers and write down the details in the Outgoing Mail box.
Cancel to return to the Accounts box.

Step 6
Click on Add > Mail
When the Internet Connection Wizard opens enter the name you wish to appear in the From field.
On the next page enter your Yahoo email address from the Configuration details you printed out.
On the E-Mail Server Names box enter the Yahoo Incoming Mail detail as shown on the Configuration print out.
In the Outgoing Mail box enter the details from your Outlook Express account as noted in Step 5.

On the Internet Mail Logon page enter the Account Name and Password
from the Configuration printout. Click next and then Finish to exit the wizard.
 

Your account is now set up.

Sending Mail from Outlook Express using Yahoo Account

You can send mail from Outlook Express using your Yahoo email address.
Open Outlook Express and click on New Message.
In the From box click on the drop down arrow on the right hand side and select your Yahoo account.

Testing your New Mail Account

Send yourself a test email using your normal email address to your Yahoo address.
Send an email to your normal email address using your Yahoo address (as show above).

Both test emails should show up in your In Box in Outlook Express.

You can also sort your Yahoo mail into a separate folder to make it easier to identify.

If you have any queries don't hesitate to contact me.
