Solve : Connecting yahoo mail w. outlook express?

Answer»

Hey, I am having a problem.  I want to use outlook express to view my yahoo mail.  I guess i am using the wrong INCOMING and outgoing mail server.  In outlook when trying to set up new email ADDRESS I am trying to use:

pop.central.yahoo.com          (have also tried pop3.central.yahoo.com)
smtp.central.yahoo.com

When i click on test account settings it tells me outlook could not connect to the incoming or outgoing mail server.  Does anybody know the correct server settings to use for yahoo mail.  I can't seem to find them anywhere on the yahoo sight.

I don't think it is possible, someone please correct me if I'm wrong though.
I tried to set up Thunderbird with my old Hotmail account and although various sites suggested various settings, some also said it was impossible.
I think it's because the webmail is free, they won't let you do it or something.I think i figured.  I purchased the yahoo mail plus and USED:

pop.mail.yahoo.com
smtp.mail.yahoo.com

and it worked like a charm.  

OK, cool.
At least that's SORTED for you then. Quote

pop.mail.yahoo.com
smtp.mail.yahoo.com

That is correct. This is how you are SUPPOSED to set up yahoo mail for outlook express not pop.central.yahoo.com.
