Setup Yahoo! POP3 email account in OE

My question is about: How do I configure Outlook Express
for POP access?

ISP: I'm on a server at work

Email Client: Outlook Express

Type your feedback he
I can receive, but not send my Yahoo!
email. I have followed the
instructions exactly to setup an
account on my Outlook Express 6 and my
Outlook 2003 at work. Error messages
from OE are as follows:

The connection to the server has
failed. Account: 'Yahoo',
Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com',
Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL):
No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number:
0x800CCC0E

Thanks for your help. I'm giving up on hotmail, and
wanted to switch to Yahoo! I bought the $20 package from
Yahoo! that supposedly gives you POP3 access.

Hi Jeff,

Does your ISP provide an outgoing (SMTP) server? This server could be used
in the Yahoo account to send mail. It would, however, show in a message's
properties.

Is your account set up per
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-06.html?

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

paste
Disabling email protection does not leave you vulnerable to viruses and
malicious software in email. It is a separate layer of protection in
addition to Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect scans any incoming files, including
email, as they are saved to your hard drive. As long as you keep your virus
definitions up to date with LiveUpdate, and keep Auto-Protect enabled and
set to scan files as they are created or downloaded, your system is fully
protected.

Okay, a private system...

Okay, MSOE says that it can't connect to 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com'. Can you ping
the server? Can you get a banner by connecting with Telnet? It strikes me
that a company network may actually block port 25 out through its border
routers, and you just can't get their from here. I could certainly set up my
little SOHO router so port 25 traffic out to the Internet is blocked; but it
is too stupid to redirect that traffic to my MTA. But I could make it so
that nobody connected to my router could send email out, except through my
MTA. It's a piece of cake...

Check with your employer's IT staff. Or, if you think that they won't go for
allowing it, just use the Yahoo! web access. You might fire off a suggestion
to Yahoo! that they implement the RFC 2476 mail submission port, port 587.
If they get enough requests, they just might do it. But even that will only
work if your employer doesn't block port 587. If it is employer's policy not
to use non-corporate mail servers, IT staff will notice a surge of port 587
outbound traffic, and block it, too.

Whenever you are dealing with an employer, remember that the computer you
are using is not your own (with some exceptions; but you would know if, if
that were the case). You must adhere to your employer's policies to ensure
continued employment.

Your ISP and/or company may not permit off-domain SMTP (port 25)
traffic. That means you must use their SMTP server for outbound
e-mails. Check with your ISP or corporate IT/IS department. One way to
check is to "telnet smtpserver 25" to see if you can make a connection
to an SMTP server that is *not* on a domain other than where you are
connecting.
