Thanks for the info, I tried it in my outlook, I kept getting network login to the yahoo server. I already have another exchange server account in outlook. I dont think so this is the issue. Can you please help

straight from microsoft on how to add a new account

Thanks for the info, I tested the account settings, can't login onto incoming server(pop3). I get the Network password window but is not taking my infromation. I guess maybe is due to our network security.

im not sure if yahoo is picky about this but i have ran into times when for the user id i had to use the WHOLE name
username: yourname@yahoo.com
instead of just
username:yourname
dont know if this depends on the version of access or not.

Even if you put the whole email address in the user box, it still not working. I have tried it at home yesterday with outlook2003, is doing the same thing.

just to check have you logged onto yahoo mail and changed the setting to allow for pop3 clients to access your mail
