Incoming and outgoing servers

I would change my Outlook account from pop to imap so the folders sync automatically. During setup, manually set up so it does not default to pop.
AOL's imap email servers are:
Incoming - imap.aol.com
Outgoing - smtp.aol.com
Make sure you select "more settings" and under the "Advanced" tap, set the incoming server to 995 and select the SSL box, and set the outgoing server to 465

Chek with your internet provider (ISP) to make sure have your e-mail accounts setup right. My ISP uses POP-server for incoming and SMTP for outgoing mail. From: outlook express tools/accounts/mail/porperties/server: in server your POPand SMPT should look the same. Larry

You can add additional (POP) accounts in Outlook 2003. Or if you still prefer OE (from help.yahoo.com):

10. Click "Next."
11. In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com").
12. In the Password box, type your Yahoo! Mail password.
13. If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the "Remember password" box.
