How to Download Yahoo Mail Into Outlook

You can use Microsoft Outlook with many email accounts. But Yahoo does not provide free POP and STMP access to the users of its free Yahoo mail. If you are a Yahoo email user and want to read and send your yahoo email with Outlook or If you want to "POP" your Yahoo Mail into your Outlook 2007. Here in this blog I have tried to explain how to set up Outlook to read and send Yahoo mail.

• Open Microsoft Outlook.

• Select 'Email Accounts' from the Tools menu.

• Select 'Add New Email Account.'

• Select 'POP3' followed by the 'Next' button.
