This guide will teach you on how to setup your Yahoo! Main in Outlook 2007. First you need to enable POP3 in your Yahoo! Mail account. You can follow my guide here on how to enable POP3 in Yahoo! Mail.
* Please note that the mails in your web inbox will be deleted once they are downloaded to your Outlook. Please follow the guide here if you want to keep your mails in your web inbox.*
1. First, Go to Tools -> Account Settings.
2. Click on ‘New’.
3. Select ‘Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP’ and click Next.
4. Tick ‘Manually configure server settings or additional server types’ and click Next.
5. Select ‘Internet E-mail’.
6. Fill in your account details.
Your Name: <Your display name in the email>
E-mail Address: <The email address that you are setting up>
Account type: <POP3>
Incoming mail server: <pop.mail.yahoo.com>
Outgoing mail server: <smtp.mail.yahoo.com>
User name: <Your Yahoo! Mail address>
Passowrd: <Your Yahoo! Mail password>
Once you’re done, click the ‘More Settings…’ button.
7. The ‘Internet Email Settings’ windows will pop up. Click on the ‘Advanced’ tab. Change the Incoming server (POP3) to 995. Tick the ‘This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)’. Then, change the ‘Outgoing server (SMTP) to 465 and Select ‘SSL’ in the drop down list.
8. Next, go to the ‘Outgoing Server’ tab and tick the ‘My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication’ option. Select ‘Use same settings as my incoming mail server’. Then click ‘OK’.
9. Click on the ‘Test Account Settings’ button.
You should be seeing the following screen if all the settings are correct:
10. Once you’re done, click ‘Next’. Congratulations! You just finish setting up your Yahoo! Mail in Microsoft Outlook 2007!
If you have large Inbox, it will take some time for Outlook to download all the mails.
* If you are getting “Enter Network Password” error, please make sure that you have POP3 enabled in your Yahoo! Mail option! You can follow my guide here on how to enable POP3 for free Yahoo! Mail account.

How to retrieve the UNREAD Yahoo mail without using YPOP3 but using Microsoft outlook 2007?
As of 1/11/11, here’s the status as far as I can tell:
I have MS Office 2007, and use ‘free’ Yahoo mail. I can’t tell from the posts and the author of the fix and those claiming success don’t say if they use Yahoo Mail Plus or not. However, going to Yahoo Account options in free Yahoo, when you go to the “POP” area, you’re told you need Yahoo mail Plus – which costs $20/year.
Otherwise, the fix only deals with MS’s ability to go out and recover mail from a ‘yahoo’ account.
With some hints from other posters, I looked at Yahoo.UK and Yahoo.China, and didn’t find a difference. Still had to purchase Yahoo Mail Plus.
At this point, I’m unwilling to begin downloading YPOP, or pursue these options without the author – or others posting that they use ‘free’ Yahoo Mail. ’tis a shame though.
Hi Al,
I’m using the free Yahoo! Mail account. I have another guide on how to enable POP3 for free Yahoo!Mail account. Of course, it is not guaranteed to work for everyone.

http://khimhoe.net/2009/09/01/2010/03/20/using-pop3-without-deleting-mails-in-the-web-inbox/
GREAT tutorial! Keep the work up!! *thumbs up*
Yes i agree that i initially did not read the top of that write up about checking the box to keep the the mail on the mail server. However, this mail did not vanish the time i created the outlook which ia about last week. Its been working fine both ways untill today that i decided to move my contacts to outlook that was when i noticed it. However, is there a way i can reverse this or move my contacts to yahoomail again? Thanks.
For emails, you have no choice but to resend all the mail from Outlook to your Yahoo Mail again. As for contacts, you can export it out from Outlook (http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/Export_Outlook_Contacts_to_CSV.htm) and reimport it back in Yahoo! Mail.
thank you very much please do these kind of answers…..
