Use these settings to access Yahoo! Mail Plus using your favorite email reader.
Note: If you can't add new POP or new SMTP servers in your mail reader program, you need to change your current mail settings to access your Yahoo! Mail Plus account. Write down your current settings first—you may need to revert to them later if you want to use the same program to send and receive messages from your other email addresses.

Troubleshooting tips
If you still can’t send Yahoo! Mail from your mail program, you may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port. If this is the case, try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server.
Your email program gives you the option of either deleting your Yahoo! messages from the Yahoo! server after downloading them into your mail reader, or leaving them on the Yahoo! server so you can see them online in your Yahoo! account, too.
