Want to "POP" your Yahoo! Mail into your IncrediMail account? Here's how to do it:
- From the IncrediMail main window, click the "Tools" menu and select "Accounts."
- Click the "Add" button to create a new email account.
- The account wizard opens. Select the preference "Let me configure settings myself" and click "Next."
- Insert your name (as you would like it to appear on the emails you send) and your Yahoo! email address (user@yahoo.co.uk). Click "Next."
- IncrediMail attempts to automatically fill out the email server settings for you.
- Enter or verify that your incoming and outgoing servers are:
- Incoming mail server: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
- Outgoing mail server: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
- The next dialogue requests that you enter your Yahoo! ID and password.
- Click "Finish."
Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on, follow these steps:
- From the Mail Accounts window, select your Yahoo! account and click "Properties."
- Click the "Servers" tab.
- Click the "My server requires authentication" field.
- Click "OK."
To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail server:
- From the IncrediMail main window, click the "Tools" menu and select "Accounts."
- Select your Yahoo! Mail account and click "Properties."
- Click "Advanced" tab.
- Check the "Leave a copy of messages on server" field. Or, if you want to delete the messages from your Yahoo! account after downloading them to IncrediMail, leave the box blank. No check.
- Click "OK."
A copy of the messages is (or is not, depending on whether you did or didn't check the "Leave a copy…" box) left on the Yahoo! server, allowing you to read them online in your Yahoo! account, too.
