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.
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.

Same thing happens to me
Wonder why Yahoo is acting like a freak for its mail service
Anyways; above settings did not work for me either. Thanks though!
Weird. The this settings are working fine with me.
Please make sure that you enabled POP3 in your Yahoo! Mail account before setting it up in Outlook.
work for me,just one clean setup….what wrong with you guys
the steps above don’t seem to work with a free Yahoo! mail account. you might need to get the mail plus for POP forwarding….
it works fine wit me…The problems with the other guys is the same with my old yahoo account. i think u should make new account that resembles where u staying right now, for example if you r in malaysia : yahoo.com.my
it cant work with yahoo.com. if u still wanna use yahoo.com, u must get yahoo mail plus coz i already have another email that uses yahoo.com, but the same thing happend to me, it kept promting the username and the password…
It worked pefectly, thank you very much… =)
still not working for me…if anyone can figure it out or help me, please e-mail me. burnschick@Yahoo.com
It requires yahoo mail plus, yahoo mail classic doesnt work on microsoft outlook.
You need to access your Yahoo! Email and under Options, go to POP Access & Forwarding & then enable the radio-button of Web & POP Access then click Save. It will take a few seconds for the new settings to be updated.
Thereafter, proceed to configure MS Outlook.
Good luck!
Same issue as everyone else on here I think.
I do not have mail plus, so I cannot set up forwarding to my outlook account!
Any way around this issue?

So I am trying to understand this yahoo mail setup with outlook. Do u have to have Yahoo mail plus in order to get it? What if I get a gmail account will it work without buying a yahoo mail plus? Somebody please help me….
yes oilivia you have to have a mail plus wich is only worth if you can be without internet for a while and you need to get to them even offline thats the m,ay7or advantage you can get a gmail account just make sure they can foward your mail as pop3 thats all you need but with yahoo it has to be a mail plus account, but to me the hassle of opening a new account and getting everybody updated i rather leave it as it is
I have Sony Ericsson P990i Smartphone and this settings for Outlook 2007 works great!
Before I have found this page, on Yahoo they have settings for 2002-2003 but it can’t work properly…
I am using yahoo classic after several try I found out that you have to enable POP3 into yahoo mail account setting. After that I did set up outlook 2007 all success. Try it it will work
