How do I set Outlook 2000 to access Yahoo.com email?

You must first set up POP access in Yahoo Mail before you can retrieve Yahoo email locally. Go here to do that: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/messenger/enable-pop-access-sln22038.html

Once this is completed, then you set up your local email client with Yahoo settings. Use the Outlook Express article to help with that: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail-classic/SLN3213.html

If you only have the free version of your yahoo email, then it is not possible to set up outlook with your yahoo account. You must purchase one of their paid email address accounts to set it up with outlook. However, registering for an account with a separate company (such as gmail) will enable you to use outlook.

Hello,
To setup your Yahoo in MS Outlook 2007, please follow the procedures written below:
1. First of all, you must enable POP3 in your yahoo mail account. If your current yahoo setting for the preferred content is “Yahoo US”, it requires “yahoo mail plus”. But if you change the setting as “Yahoo Asia”, then you can enable POP3 access in your yahoo mail account. To do that:
- Sign in to your yahoo mail account. (I assumed that you switched the yahoo mail options to “All-New mail” view from “Mail Classic” view.)
- Click on your “Display Name” and select “Account Info”



- Continue signing in yahoo account info verifying your password.
- In your yahoo account info page find the “Account Settings” section.
In the “Account Settings” section, check the current settings for “Set Language, site, time zone” content. If it is “Yahoo! U.S.”, then click “Set Language, site, time zone” link.




- In the “Edit Member Information” page, click on the New Setting option and change your current preferred content settings to Yahoo! Asia and click “Finished” button.





- Click “I Accept” button on the “Terms of Service” screen to proceed further.
- The preferred content will be “Yahoo! Asia”. Click the “Finished” button to save the settings.
- In your yahoo mail box page, click on Options and select More Options…
