After i have updated to yahoo mail plus, and set the POP to my outlook, all the incoming messages are downloaded only to the outlook inbox. I want to make sure I can see my inbox messages BOTH on outlook and the internet yahoo at the same time. Any advice? Thanks

Hi, follow the steps below. Don't change any of your settings since they already work, but when you get to step 7 this is where you check whether or not you want to remove the emails from the sever.

Open Outlook 2003 then:

1. Click Tools ' E-mail Accounts.
2. Select Add a new e-mail account and click Next.
3. Select POP3, then click Next.
4. Enter the following information:
   • User Information
     • Your Name: Type your name as you'd like it to appear when you send an email message.
     • E-mail Address: Type your Yahoo! Mail Plus email address (for example, [email protected]).
   • Server Information
     • Incoming mail server (POP3): Type pop.mail.yahoo.com
     • Outgoing mail server (SMTP): Type smtp.mail.yahoo.com
   • Login Information
     • User Name: Type your Yahoo! ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com").
     • Password: Type your Yahoo! password.
   • Check the Remember password checkbox if you don't want Outlook to prompt you for your password each time you check your mail.
   • Do notcheck the Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) checkbox.
5. Click the More Settings button. The Internet E-mail Settings dialog box appears.
6. Select the Outgoing Server tab:
   • Check the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication checkbox.
   • Make sure that Use same settings as my incoming mail server is selected.
7. Select the Advanced tab:
   • Under "Incoming server (POP3)," check the This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) checkbox. The number in the "Incoming server (POP3)" field usually changes automatically from 110 to 995. If it doesn't, type 995.
   • In the Outgoing server (SMTP) field, type 465. Under it, check the This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) checkbox.
   • If you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on both the Yahoo! Mail server and on your computer, check the Leave a copy of messages on the server checkbox. If you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! server once Outlook has downloaded them onto your computer, leave the box unchecked.
   Note: After your messages are deleted from the server, we cannot retrieve them.
   
8. Click OK to close the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box.
9. Click Next and then Finish.
10. Close and restart your Microsoft Outlook.

Hi Vinay,

You need to configur your microsoft outlook or windows mail or outlook express in such a way that you recive mails from both the account to one inbox. Follow the below steps if you have ms outlook.

Microsoft Outlook Express
Yahoo! Mail users can read their email in Outlook Express by subscribing to the Yahoo! Mail Plus service. This service allows you to use Outlook Express or another POP3 client to access and manage your Yahoo! Mail messages.

Outlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages. Here's how:

1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Click the "Add" button.
4. From the Add menu, click "Mail."
5. In the text box labeled Display Name, type your name and click "Next."
6. In the Email Address box, type your Yahoo! Mail address (be sure to include "@yahoo.com") and click "Next."
7. Under "My incoming mail server is a..." select "POP3."
8. Type "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) Server box.
9. Type "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box.
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.
14. Do not check the boxes labeled "Log on using Secure..."
15. Click "Next."
16. Click "Finish."

Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on:

1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."
4. Select the "Servers" tab.
5. Check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication."
6. Click "OK."

To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server:

1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."
4. Select the "Advanced" tab.
5. In the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on the Yahoo! Mail server as well as on your local computer. Do not check this box if you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server once you have received them in Outlook Express.


If your ISP blocks port 25 or if you're unable to send email, then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change, please follow the directions below:

1. From the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts"
2. Select your Yahoo! POP account and click on the "Properties" button
3. Click on the "Advanced" tab
4. Next to "Outgoing server (SMTP), change port 25 to 587
5. Click "Apply", then click "OK" and "Close"

Much more common is a sending issue. Often you have to send through your ISP server, contact them for what that server is, if you have sending issues.

I found directions for Outlook, which should be similar to Thunderbird:

Look closely at requires authentication settings....

Still Yahoo is not offered the outlook service for free user. Yahoo offer the outlook mail services only for premium/plus user.You will need to subscribe Yahoo! mail plus in order to use it with outlook.

If you having a plus/premium account just set up your account in outlook with below info.

Provide your Yahoo Plus user ID and password as usual in the required field.
Select POP3 as Incoming Mail Server Type and in the box Incoming mail(POP3 or IMAP) server type pop.mail.yahoo.com and in the field Outgoing email(SMTP) server type smtp.mail.yahoo.com

That's all.
