Reading Email Via Yahoo

[superjux]

Hi. Has anyone been able to configure their Yahoo mail to allow them to check their POP mail? I can't seem to get it to work properly.

 

Thanks!

Yahoo! Mail Plus will allow you to do that.

[superjux]

I have that, but I still can't get it to work. Did you have to tweak anything?

I havent used it for a while, but this is what I did per the instructions.

First go to Options, then account POP access and forwarding.

Check web and pop access

Configure your email program with the following settings

 

Server Settings

Incoming Mail Server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.com

Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com

using SMTP port 587

 

Account Name/Username: email

Email address: email@yahoo.com

Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password

Have you tried this? http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/ext/ It shows you everything you need to do.

wampthing I think you got the wrong end of the stick. I believe they want to check OTHER POP mail using Yahoo and not check Yahoo using POP. Although I could be wrong.

LOL

I never was one for attention to detail. I think I just like to hear myself talk.

Thanks for the heads up.

Don't worry, you remind me of me. I tend to speed read things and get the wrong idea. Before now I have posted the answer to one thread in an entirely different thread.

I use Mozilla thunderbird and FreePops to get my yahoo mail in (I have a free account)

 

I'm sure it will work with other mail programs too

So the "webmail" accounts we have here at TCH are pop3.. So what is the mail server url? What is the syntax/format.

 

I am also trying to get my yahoo account to recieve emails from my webmail accounts. I have the upgraded yahoo account that alows this, just not sure of the details above. New to the whole we world..

Thanks

thank you, I also have been wondering how to do that, now how about the incoming and outgoing server ports? no I need to enter in a number, or leave them blank

[TCH-Bruce]

Incoming is 110 and outgoing is 25 if that doesn't work try 26.

Was the OP's question answered? I can't seem to figure out how to check my Squirrel Mail in Yahoo either.

I think I do have my Yahoo setup properly to read POP mail. It just works differently than I had anticipated--I was under the mis-impression that Yahoo would check the POP account periodically and display any new mail. I think you have choose to check your POP mail.

Yes you are correct. You have to login to Yahoo! mail and click the link for it to check other accounts.
