superjux Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 I have that, but I still can't get it to work. Did you have to tweak anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wampthing Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkycomputers Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Have you tried this? http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/ext/ It shows you everything you need to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonize Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbonize Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 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 http://www.freepops.org/en/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rnmcd Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonize Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yes you are correct. You have to login to Yahoo! mail and click the link for it to check other accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
