Want to POP your Yahoo! Mail Plus into the Microsoft Entourage email client for Macintosh? Here's how to do it:

  1. Open the Entourage email client (application) and click the "Tools" menu.
  2. Select "Accounts" from the pull-down menu.
  3. Click the "New" button in the upper-left corner of the Accounts window.
  4. Enter your name as you would like it to appear to the recipient.
  5. Click the radio button next to "I already have an email address that I'd like to use."
  6. Enter your email address in the field provided (e.g., "user@yahoo.com").
  7. Select "My incoming mail server is a(n) POP3."
  8. Enter pop.mail.yahoo.com (your incoming mail server) in the field provided.
  9. Click 'Click here for advanced receiving options' in the 'Receiving mail' section.
  10. Check the box next to 'This POP service requires a secure connection (SSL).'
  11. Enter smtp.mail.yahoo.com (your outgoing (SMTP) mail server) in the field provided.
  12. Click 'Click here for advanced sending options' in the 'Sending mail' section.
  13. Check the box next to 'SMTP service requires secure connection (SSL), ' and click 'OK.'
  14. Check the box next to 'Override default SMTP port:,' and enter '465' in the box.
  15. Check the box next to 'SMTP server requires authentication,' and click 'OK.'
  16. In the "Account ID" field, enter your Yahoo! ID (e.g., your email address without the "@domain.com").
  17. Enter your password.
  18. 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.
  19. Enter your full Yahoo! email address in the "Account Name" field.
  20. Click "Finish."

Important: The Yahoo! SMTP server requires authentication. To enable this setting, do the following:

  1. Open the Entourage client (application) and click the "Tools" menu.
  2. Select "Accounts" from the pull-down menu.
  3. Double-click your Yahoo! account.
  4. On the Account Settings window, scroll to the "Sending Mail" category toward the bottom.
  5. Click "Click Here for Advanced Sending Options."
  6. Check the box next to "SMTP Server Requires Authentication."
  7. Close this window by clicking the tiny box in the upper-left corner.
  8. 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.
