how do I get my yahoo mail to forward to Outlook on my home computer?

January 22nd, 2012 | by admin |

I recently bought a new computer and all new MS Office Suite software. On my old computer I used to read my yahoo mail through MS Outlook. I have tried to set up my e-mail the same way on my new computer by using the Outlook E-mail wizard, but have been unsuccessful in doing so. Any tips on how to do this would be much appreciated.

Adding Your Yahoo! Account

1 Open Microsoft Outlook, click "File" and choose "Add Account" from the "Info" tab.
2 Click "Manually Configure Server Settings or Additional Server Types" and then click "Next."
3 Choose "Internet Email" and click "Next."
4 Enter your name in the "Your Name" field as you want it to appear on the emails you send.
5 Type your Yahoo! email address into the "Email Address" field.
6 Select "POP3" from the "Account Type" drop-down menu.
7 Enter "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail Server field.

Allow Outlooks to Send Emails Using Your Yahoo! Account

1 Enter "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" into the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) field.
2 Type your Yahoo! username again in the "User Name" field.
3 Type your Yahoo! account password in the "Password" field.
4 Check the "Remember Password" box if you choose to not type your password when Outlook checks your Yahoo! account. This is not as secure, but if you use a password on your computer then this extra step might be unnecessary.
5 Click "More Settings" and the click on the "Outgoing Server" tab.
6 Check the box "My Outgoing Server (SMTP) Requires Authentication" and then select "Use

    Robert,

    Since everything is new I’m assuming we’re talking about Outlook 2010. And since you said this used to work, I’m assuming you have Yahoo Mail Plus or are living in one of the countries where Mail Plus is not necessary to work with Outlook. I have posted detailed instructions on making Outlook 2010 and Yahoo Mail Plus work together at:

    http://living-with-outlook-2010.com/emailaccounts/2010/06/the-yahoo-outlook-2010-connection/

    I would walk through the steps on that page to make sure all the setting are correct and it should start working for you.

    Good luck.

    –Bill
