Time for you to enter your e-mail ID, without the ‘@yahoo.com’ bit, in the user name text box; also type in your password. Now click ‘Test Account Settings’ and follow the prompts. Next type ‘Yahoo Mail’ in the ‘Mail Account’ text and expand on ‘Outgoing Server’ Outlook settings option.
Check on ‘My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication’ box. Ensure that the box ‘Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)’ is not checked. Lastly, click on ‘Use same settings as my incoming mail server’ Outlook settings option and finish by hitting ‘Ok.’

Help, I have a problem …… incoming email works but outgoing email does not, I get the following error message:
“Task ‘Yahoo mail – Sending’ reported error (0x800CCCOF): ‘The connection to the server was interrupted….
Any ideea how to fix this?
Enable SSL on outgoing mails, and be sure your username and pass are correct for outgoing.
Hope this helps.

i have problem in setting my yahoo account in Microsoft outlook. I keep asking to enter Network password. Please help
I have double checked all of my settings and the password window pops up in outlook and it will not accept the password, when send an email from outlook it appears in yahoo but not in outlook
same issue here
The reason is pop3 is disable by ur mail id.
open ur yahoomail and click mail option and go to pop&forwarding. there is option (Allow your Yahoo! Mail to be POPed)click on this option and it will be automatic save and then open ur outlook and enter ur password and enjoy………….
This advice checks out, but it looks like it will cost you 20 bucks a year since you need to upgrade to Mail Plus to enable this…
BTW I am using outlook 2007
I try to configure my yahoo account in Outlook 2007 following the instructions but it says me that my password is not correct but i can access to my account trough webmail without any problem.
What is the reason?
Regards
Hi Jose !
I got the same error message but it was resolved when i entered the correct POP & SMTP server address from the Yahoo Mail website. So you must check them or for more precise result, after configuring click on “Test Account Settings.”
Hope it will resolve your issue. Or you can share your email address so that i can send you screen shots for the same.

Hi !
A nice way to present the information. Short but sweet.
But its better if you cud provide the screen shots also in the reply so that even a layman can understand the process of configuration.
