Hi, I have a yahoo.ie mail and wish to use with outlook express. I keep getting prompted for my user name and network password - I think this is because it is looking for a .com or .co.uk mail.Can I use oiutlook with my ie account?

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.

Then you should remove the Outlook Express shortcut so you do not accidentally hit it.

Hi there!

I did a bit of research for you and came across an article which has the answer you requested. Here's what it says to do:

Follow the simple instructions to download and install the Yahoo! AutoSync software. The URL for this free download is in the resources section below.

Open the Yahoo! Autosync software once it has been installed. The configuration process will automatically start.

Click to select Outlook Express as the application to which you want to sync Yahoo!, and then click on Address Book. Then click on "Next."

Set up the synchronization to be either automatic by clicking on "Yes," or manual by selecting"No."

Enter your Yahoo! user name and password when prompted for it by the AutoSync program. Do not include "@yahoo.com" after your user name.

Click to place a check mark in the check box if you would like to store your user name and password so that you do not have to re-enter it with every synchronization. Click "OK," and you will see a screen that confirms you have changed your AutoSync settings. Click on "Finish" and select the option to start your first sync now.

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"

If you want to use Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or other third party email clients to view your email you have 2 options.
Subscribe to mail plus:
http://billing.mail.yahoo.com/bm/Upgrade…

or download and install YPOPS
http://ypopsemail.com/


then follow the directions for your version of outlook here,

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/or…

If you have trouble with set up, check the YPOPS installation page for alternate set up instructions.

http://dbeusee.home.comcast.net/
Click on YPOPS link on the left.
Then Click on Configuring email clients towards the bottom.
Choose the appropriate link for your mail client.

I currently utilize version 2.0.0.4 of Thunderbird
and version 0.8.3 of YPOPS (there is a more recent version of YPOPS that you need if you are Yahoo Beta Mail) and have no problems.

Could you please explain this more clearly? If I am not wrong you just open new yahoo account and set your outlook client to receive messages from Yahoo Mail service (as far as I know this is available in Pro option only).

I couldn't understand what do you mean: 
"mail sent to my yahoo address goes to my outlook inbox which is still active and I wish to keep that account"


Outlook is a email software and you can add there as many accounts as you wish without losing any of them. Your question isn't clear for me but you do not need to be worried in any way of losing any of your accounts at all.

What is your email provider (like hotmail, yahoo, etc), and what program are you using to get mail? (windows live, outlook, outlook express?)
Have you tried accessing your mailbox directly from a browser window and logging into the provider website? You'll be able to check your password access that way...
Give us some more details and we might be able to answer better...
If you're using outlook, I think I fixed that issue once but it took some searching, and reappeared after awhile...you may have a corrupt user profile or mail profile and need to make a new one...
Let us know....
