1: Download YPOPs

You need to download a small application called YPOPs. YPOPs is an application that provides POP3 and
SMTP access to Yahoo! Mail. YPOPs acts as a gateway between Yahoo! Mail and Microsoft Outlook. For
those who opted for the new Yahoo Mail beta are good too to use this to access Yahoo! mail using
Outlook. Download YPOPs from SourceForge.
Step 2: Install YPOPs.
When configuring YPOPs, while the default settings are pretty good, I like to customize them a bit.
* In Receiving Email, under download Email Category, I choose to select just Unread email to download so
that I won’t download all the hundreds of emails I have.
* In Sending Email, I check Save email in Yahoo’s Sent Items Folder
* In Miscellaneous, it is good to check Automatically start YPOPs! when Windows starts so that you
don’t have to worry about launching it everytime you launch Microsoft Outlook.

Step 3: Configure Microsoft Outlook to access Yahoo! Mail

* For Microsoft Outlook 2003, Go to Tools –> Email Accounts. Select Add a new email
account. ClickNext. Check POP3 and click on Next
* For Microsoft Outlook 2007, go to Tools –> Account Settings and under Email click New… Under Add a
new Email Account select Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP. Then under Add new Email
account, check Manually configure server settings or additional server types
* Type your name under Your Name
* Type in your Yahoo! Mail address under Email Address which is the full youremail@yahoo.com
* Under Incoming mail server (POP3) type in localhost. (If localhost does not work type
in 127.0.0.1instead)
* Under Outgoing mail server (SMTP) type in localhost. (If localhost does not work type
in 127.0.0.1instead)
* Under Username type in your Yahoo! Mail address. For example if your email address is
asmith2233@yahoo.com, then type in asmith2233. Enter your Yahoo! Mail password and check remember
the password
* Click More settings. Under Outgoing Server tab check My outgoing server(SMTP) requires
authentication
* Click OK and then Next and then click Finish
1. Open Outlook Express from Start Menu > Programs.

2. From the tools menu select Accounts…

3. Doing so will pop up the Internet Accounts window to set up the email client if you already

have any other account added it will also show up here.

you wish to be displayed in the mail box when you send any mail through outlook and click

7. Now Select POP3

drop down menu from the window arrives and Type “localhost” for both Incoming (POP3) and

Outgoing mail (SMTP) servers. Click Next..

 8. Now this is the

time to provide outlook with the yahoo user id and password so that every time you open

outlook it don’t ask for the password ( However you can omit this option by unticking

Remember “My Password Option” if you want further privacy but remember doing so will not

prevent anybody from viewing the mails already stored in your mailbox only this will cause for

the new massage arriving. Click Next and then Finish…

 9. Now from the

Internet Accounts window ( You already know how to where to find mentioned above ) select

Localhost and then properties and from the windows comes choose Servers tab and in the

bottom tick the checkbox My server requires authentication. and choose settings…

name and your Yahoo! Mail password as the password. And click ok

Finished Everything. Now you have

configured your Yahoo account with Outlook Express so from now you will receive all your

mails direct into Outlook Window but keep not that before you receive any mails make sure

the Ypop you which you have downloaded earlier is running you can find in the right task bar
area… Now enjoy… I hope you have enjoyed the post so why don’t you subscribe for the daily
