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.

Just go to your accounts settings in your Yahoo webmail. There should be POP3 settings if you have POP3 enabled.

I am in a big trouble. I set up Outlook 2007 while I was doing something else now my web inbox (yahoo) has nothing in it. Is there any way I can restore or download back my emails to my yahoo web inbox? There are 5000 of them and I need to be able to access them wherever I am not just from my laptop.
Please help me.

hi…i have tried many options but i cannot configure my yahoo id to outlook 2007. all options need to upgrade for yahoo plus which cost 20$.
but by this procedure posted above..it worked for me and i had configured my yahoo id to outlook for free.
thanks
Please help me i did like this but the window again again coming for enter network password
You need to have a Yahoo Mail Plus (which is not available for free) account in order to use POP forwarding! At least that’s my problem. I can’t enable POP forwarding, yahoo asks me to upgrade.
You NEED A PLUS ACCOUNT to do this and THANKS A LOT for easy instructions.
I have no idea where it all went wrong, i have redone it over and over at least a dozen times now, but still, i’m getting this error message when I ‘Test Account Settings’ ; i get asked for my username and password, when i enter my yahoo email id, and password (rechecked again and again), and then a while later i et this message:

– Sent test e-mail message: Completed
plz help
Do you have POP3 enabled in your Yahoo! Mail account? Currently POP3 is only available to paid customer (Yahoo Mail Plus).
Hello all,
For those who are still receiving prompt to enter the password, please make sure that you log into your account online, go to options-mail options-pop and forwaring and enable pop and forwarding in your account.
Then go back to outlook, and follow simple steps and you are done.
Cheers!!!

my web inbox (yahoo) has nothing in it. Is there any way I can restore or download back my emails to my yahoo web inbox?
Unfortunately, there is no way to restore the mail to the web inbox. A workaround is that you forward all you emails to your Yahoo Mail again. But of course, you need to change the settings (keep a copy of the mail in your web inbox) as mentioned previously before downloading the emails again.
i have error of not Auth after setting my account
thank you for your useful guide!
