I currently utilize the most recent version of Thunderbird (2.0.0.4)

If you want to use outlook express, you can access your yahoo mail if you use Ypops..


You must be using the origional version of Yahoo mail, not the Beta version..


So if you are using the beta version just go back to the origional version BEFORE installing Ypops..








Go to http://ypopsemail.com/ download Ypops version 0.8.8 and install it..





Then:


Open up Outlook express


1.Go to "Tools" at the top of your screen then Select "Accounts"


2. Click "Add" button and select "Mail...".


3. Enter your name and click "Next".


4. Enter your email address and click "Next".


5. Set "My incoming mail server is a" to POP3.


6. Set "Incoming (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) mail server" to "127.0.0.1".


7. Set "Outgoing (SMTP) mail server" to "127.0.0.1" and click "Next". (Verify that SMTP is enabled in YPOPs.)


8. Set "Account name:" to your Yahoo! login.


9. Set "Password:" to you Yahoo! password and hit "Next".


10. Hit "Finish".


11. Click on new account named "127.0.0.1" and hit "Properties".


12. Rename account to "YPOPs" or something nice.


13. Select "Servers" tab.


14. Check "My server requires authentication".


15. Select "Advanced" tab.


16. Change "Server Timeouts" to Long - 5 minutes.


17. You may wish to select "Leave a copy of messages on server". This way the messages will not be deleted from Yahoo! when you download them.


18. You may wish to select "Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items'".


This way when you delete a message in OE and empty the trash it's deleted from Yahoo! as well.
