Configure Yahoo in Outlook Express |
Regarding Yahoo mail account download, Yahoo Mail disabled free access to
its POP3 service in April 2002. So you have to install a third-party application
to access Yahoo mail into your Outlook Express client.
YPOPs! is an application that provides POP3 access to Yahoo Mail.
This application emulates a POP3 server and enables popular e-mail clients such
as Outlook, Netscape, Eudora, Mozilla, etc., to download e-mail from Yahoo
accounts. This application is more like a gateway. It provides a POP3 server
interface at one end to talk to e-mail clients and an HTTP client (browser)
interface at the other that allows it to talk to Yahoo.
YahooPOPs is a freeware (GPL) application.
You can download YahooPOPs!/Windows version 0.6 (filesize 1.13MB) from the
following URL:
http://yahoopops.sourceforge.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewsdownload&sid=2.
- To download Yahoo mail into your Outlook Express, please follow these
steps: First, you will have to install YahooPOPs application. Then start
yahoopops by start - Programs - YahooPOPs - YahooPOPs.
This will sit on the system tray.
- Next, you will have to configure Yahoo mail account into your
Outlook Express e-mail client.
- Open your Outlook Express e-mail client. Click on Tools -
Accounts. Click the Add button, select Mail from the popup.
- In the Display name text box, please type your full name or whatever you
would like people to see in the `From' field and click Next.
- Enter your Yahoo e-mail address and click Next. Select POP3 as `My
incoming mail server.'
- Please type `localhost' as your Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP)
server and type `localhost' as the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server and click
Next.
- In the Account name field, type your full Yahoo e-mail address
(accountname@yahoo.co.in). In the Password field, enter your Yahoo password.
If you do not wish to type in your password every time you check your mail,
please tick the Remember password box and click Next. Then click Finish.
Now in the Internet Accounts window,
- click on the new account named localhost and click Properties. Select
`Servers' tab and in the bottom tick the checkbox of `My server requires
authentication' and click Settings button.
- Select `Log on using' and enter your Yahoo Mail address as the Account
name and your Yahoo Mail password as the password. Next select the
`Advanced' tab and increase the Server Timeout to `Long' (5 minutes).
- Click OK and close. Now your configuration settings are ended.
Please note that when you check Yahoo mails on Outlook Express, you will
have to make sure that the YahooPOPs stay on system tray. If you do not
invoke YahooPOPs application, you will get an error message.
Now just by clicking the Send/Recv button of Outlook Express, you will
receive Yahoo mails in your inbox folder.
If you would like to receive Yahoo mails separately, either use mail rule
to move Yahoo mails to one folder or Add new Identity in Outlook Express and
repeat the above procedure on the new Identity.
