Smile Outlook 2003 sync to Yahoo account
I need help with Outlook. I don't want to use Outlook for regular email with regular smtp and pop3. I would like Outlook 2003 to only work through my email at yahoo. How can I get Outlook to send and receive emails with the Yahoo email system?

Thanks,
Dave

I think you may have to pay for it - info could be out of date , as i dont use yahoo anymore - but yahoo used to charge

I dont really understand your point here
to connect outlook to an email server you will need to use POP,HTTP or IMAP

if you go into your yahoo account on the web, it should tell you if it charges still for POP access

I believe that you can only use POP3/SMTP access to use Outlook 2003 with Yahoo e-mail accounts. That requires having a premium Yahoo account in some locations.

Use Outlook with Yahoo! Mail

Smile Thanks
Thanks for helping. Yes, you are right. I need Yahoo Premium email to have "offsite" email.
