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:

or download and install YPOPS

then follow the directions for your version of outlook here,

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

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.





Thumbs up are always appreciated if I have truly helped you!!
Reply:I was told I had to pay $19.95/yr to get Yahoo Mail Plus in order to use Outlook Express. I just paid but when I tried to set it up -- it still didn't work. If you get an answer, I'd like to know. Do you have Mail Plus?
Reply:If you don't want to pay for Yahoo Mail Plus, and you want to use outlook express, you can access your yahoo mail if you use a program called Ypops.. Ypops version 0.9.1 works with both versions of Yahoo mail !!!!!! And, it works great with both versions...





Download Ypops 0.9.1 from the following link http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles...


Then click on the the file "Ypops-win-0.9.1.exe" save it to your "My documents" folder, then go to it in "My documents" and double click on it to install it..





Then:


Open up Outlook express


1.Go to "Tools" at the top of your screen then Select "Accounts"


2. Click "Add" button and select "Mail...".


3. Enter your name and click "Next".


4. Enter your email address and click "Next".


5. Set "My incoming mail server is a" to POP3.


6. Set "Incoming (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) mail server" to "127.0.0.1".


7. Set "Outgoing (SMTP) mail server" to "127.0.0.1" and click "Next". (Verify that SMTP is enabled in YPOPs.)


8. Set "Account name:" to your Yahoo! login.


9. Set "Password:" to you Yahoo! password and hit "Next".


10. Hit "Finish".


11. Click on new account named "127.0.0.1" and hit "Properties".


12. Rename account to "YPOPs" or something nice.


13. Select "Servers" tab.


14. Check "My server requires authentication".


15. Select "Advanced" tab.


16. Change "Server Timeouts" to Long - 5 minutes.


17. You may wish to select "Leave a copy of messages on server". This way the messages will not be deleted from Yahoo! when you download them.


18. You may wish to select "Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items'".


This way when you delete a message in OE and empty the trash it's deleted from Yahoo! as well
