  7. In the Incoming (POP3 or IMAP) box, type:

    pop.mail.yahoo.com.ph

  8. In the Outgoing (SMTP) box, type:

    smtp.mail.yahoo.com.ph

  9. Click "Next."
  10. In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! ID (without the "@yahoo.com.ph").
  11. In the Password box, type your Yahoo! Mail password.
  12. If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, then check the box.
  13. Do not check the "Log on using secure password... " box.
  14. Click "Next."
  15. Click "Finish."

To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server, follow these steps:

  1. From the Tools menu, choose "Account."
  2. Select the "Mail" tab.
  3. Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com.ph."
  4. Select the "Options" tab.
  5. In the Server Options section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of each message on the server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on both the Yahoo! Mail server and on your local computer. If you would prefer to have your messages deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server after you have received them in Outlook Express, do not check this box.
