- Click 'Click here for advanced receiving options' in the 'Receiving mail' section.

- In the "Account ID" field, enter your Yahoo! ID (e.g., your email address without the "@domain.com").
- Enter your password.
- To have the Entourage client remember your password so you won't need to enter each time you send or receive mail, check the "Remember password" box.
- Enter your full Yahoo! email address in the "Account Name" field.
- Click "Finish."
Important: The Yahoo! SMTP server requires authentication. To enable this setting, do the following:
- Open the Entourage client (application) and click the "Tools" menu.
- Select "Accounts" from the pull-down menu.
- Double-click your Yahoo! account.
- On the Account Settings window, scroll to the "Sending Mail" category toward the bottom.
- Click "Click Here for Advanced Sending Options."
- Check the box next to "SMTP Server Requires Authentication."
- Close this window by clicking the tiny box in the upper-left corner.
- Click "OK."
To ensure the new settings are configured properly, we suggest closing the Entourage client and opening it again before sending or receiving messages.
