Having Outlook problems

[ManDooM]

I can setup an MSN email account easily enough but when I try to set up a yahoo account it doesn't work. I select an http mail server and used all the urls I could think of but I don't think I'm getting the right one. If anyone accesses a yahoo account through outlook I could use some advice on setting it up.

I tried Outlook help - it was NO help. And I have an OEM version so the tech support button just tells me to contact the computer vendor.

Thunderbird 0.7

This might be worth a read.

You need the "Yahoo Plus" service which allows you to use Outlook to connect. Costs $20.00 per year.

the same thing will happen in TB if its not configured correctly

Do you have POP access with your Yahoo account?

 

[ManDooM]

Ah. So I need to pay for the extra service. Bah. No way.
Will thunderbird support ActiveSync so I can transfer my email to my IPAQ? That's the whole reason I just started using Outlook today. I just got an IPAQ 2215.

Hey, that's pretty boss. How secure is it, though?

It runs on your computer as a service.

Sorry. Still new to anandtech. Didn't realize there was a software forum.
