I need to know Yahoo's Email Server Information to make Yahoo my default email. Example: Outgoing Mail "POP3" %26amp; Incoming Mail "STMP." This is wrong, I need the correct Information. Thanks!

What is the Yahoo Internet Email Server Info to make Yahoo your Default Email Account?
This depends on whether you're talking about your Yahoo free mail account or if you mean a Business class email package that comes with webhosting ore Merchant Solutions.





Yahoo Freemail is NOT POP-capable.





Business mail settings can be found at help.yahoo.com.





Here's a link to the article.
