Microsoft Outlook Express for Macintosh

Outlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile, so you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages. To set this up, follow these steps:

  1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
  2. Select the "Mail" tab.
  3. Click the "Add" button.
  4. From the Add menu, click "Mail."
  5. Click the "Configure account manually" button.
  6. Select "POP" and click the "OK" button.
  7. In the "Name" box, type your name.
  8. In the email address box, enter your Yahoo! Business Email address, including the "@widgetdesigns.com."
  9. In the Account ID box, type your email address (for example, linda@learn2yoga.com).
  10. In the Incoming (POP3 or IMAP) box, type: pop.bizmail.yahoo.com.
  11. In the Password box, type your Yahoo! password.
  12. Click "Click here for advanced receiving options."
  13. Check the box next to "this POP service requires a secure connection (SSL)." The port number should automatically change from 110 to 995. If it doesn't, make sure to change the port number to 995.
  14. Close this portion of the dialog box.
  15. In the Outgoing (SMTP) box, type: smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com.
  16. Click "Click here for advanced receiving options."
  17. Check the box next to "SMTP service requires secure connection (SSL)."
  18. Check the box next to "Override default SMTP port," and enter "465" in the "Port:" field.
  19. Check the box next to "SMTP server requires authentication."
  20. Leave the default "Use same settings as incoming mail server" button.
  21. Close this portion of the dialog, and then close the configuration dialogue box.

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.bizmail.yahoo.com."
  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! Business Email messages on both the Yahoo! Mail server and on your 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.
