Setting up Outlook 2010 with pop3/imap SMTP

Hi,

This might now be the answer, but..

I'm perplexed now. I use imap for my yahoo7 mail and I'm in Australia.
I followed the information on these two sites below and it's been working fine...

Yahoo mail Account to Outlook 2007 Using IMAP

So, if you do find a solution, I'd be interested in knowing how you got it to work, because the settings I gave you work for me.

That is exactly where I had gone to do what was done. You make a good point when you say, "don't forgot to set the correct ports" the problem is, one is never given that choice.Look at the imagge attached and you will see (even if a 2nd window is used)

Your screenshot shows one obvious error: Your account type is set to POP3, yet you are trying to use the IMAP mail server.

If setting up Yahoo mail using POP3, you need to change the incoming server to POP server (pop.mail.yahoo.com instead of imap.mail.yahoo.com).

BINGO it all had to do with one number. All works fine

Ok, so which number made it work?

Ahh, I see. Well, good that you got it working.
