I am trying to configure outlook 2007 for my yahoo account but when testing the settings it errors both on sending and receiving email, can someone help with the setting and email server address for yahoo?
For yahoo mail you need upgrade to yahoo mail plus (@ $19.99 per year).to get the full pop3 service for access to Outlook,Incredimail, Thunderbird and others.
For more info on setting up your pop3 account see the link below.
* Incoming Mail Server (POP3): plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
Use SSL, port: 995

Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication.
If you have “yahoo.co.uk” address some users can get free pop forwarding see below.
Click “options” (top right) on your mail page>mail options>pop and forwarding>
