*Assalamu Alaikum,* *Dear Brothers/Sisters,*
*I hope some of you might faced problems in configuring yahoo.com email ids in outlook. By default yahoo.com email ids can't be configured in outlook without getting upgraded to yahoo plus account. But all other yahoo domains (yahoo.co.in, yahoo.co.uk, etc....) can be configured in MS outlook using POP3 features. But POP3 is disabled by default in yahoo.com domain and gettingthesame activated by paying yahoo annually and upgraded to Yahoo Plus account.* *This guide help you configure Outlook with yahoo.com email account using free, small but simple tool YPOPS. Please go thru the same* *Step 1: Download YPOPs* You need to download a small application called YPOPs. YPOPs is an application that provides POP3 and SMTP access to Yahoo! Mail. YPOPs acts as a gateway between Yahoo! Mail and Microsoft Outlook. For those who opted for the new Yahoo Mail beta are good too to use this to access Yahoo! mail using Outlook. Download YPOPs from SourceForge. You can download YPOPs fron here http://ypopsemail.com/ *Step 2: Install YPOPs.* When configuring YPOPs, while the default settings are pretty good, I like to customize them a bit. * In Receiving Email, under download Email Category, I choose to select just *Unread* email to download so that I won’t download all the hundreds of emails I have. * In Sending Email, I check *Save email in Yahoo’s Sent Items Folder* * In Miscellaneous, it is good to check *Automatically start YPOPs! when Windows starts* so that you don’t have to worry about launching it everytime you launch Microsoft Outlook. *Step 3: Configure Microsoft Outlook to access Yahoo! Mail* * For Microsoft Outlook 2003, Go to Tools –> Email Accounts. Select *Add a new email account.* Click *Next*. Check *POP3* and click on *Next* * For Microsoft Outlook 2007, go to Tools –> Account Settings and under * Email*click *New… *Under Add a new Email Account select *Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP.* Then under Add new Email account, check Manually configure server settings or additional server types * Type your name under *Your Name* * Type in your Yahoo! Mail address under *Email Address *which is the full [email protected] * Under Incoming mail server (POP3) type in *localhost. (**If localhost does not work type in 127.0.0.1 instead)* * Under Outgoing mail server (SMTP) type in *localhost*. *(If localhost does not work type in 127.0.0.1 instead)* * Under Username type in your Yahoo! Mail address. For example if your email address is [email protected], then type in priyeshpcs. Enter your Yahoo! Mail password and check remember the password * Click *More settings.* Under *Outgoing Server tab* check *My outgoing server(SMTP) requires authentication* * Click *OK *and then *Next* and then click *Finish* That’s it now you can access yahoo mail through MS outlook ............................
