Connect my e-mail yahoo for Outlook Express for Windows XP

I followed the instructions in the wizard, but when I start Outlook, it evokes a box that says: "enter network password". In this box, it lists my server as being: pop.mail.yahoo.com. It then lists my user name (which is OK for yahoo), then he asks for my network password. I get my yahoo password, and nothing happens. He brings just to the top of the same box, as if my password is not their looking for. Also, when I try to send a piece of mail, it does not send in FACT, but it puts in the 'Outbox '. When I go to close Outlook, he asks me if I really want to close it, because I have letters in my Outbox.

Thanks in advance for your comments!

We are talking about Outlook or Outlook Express? You mention both.

If it's a US or CA, Yahoo account, and that you are not subscribed to Yahoo Mail Plus, then you cannot access the account in Outlook Express.

  • Import e-mail messages from Outlook Express in Windows Live Mail?

    I have recently moved to a new PC with Win7 and have been using Live Mail - more often with success, I thought with the exception of one or two faults, but I'll probably post a question on those.
    On the audit of my old PC today, when I open Oulook Express have been downloaded more than 100 emails that have not appeared in Live Mail - dating back to the time I went.
    I tried to export these messages of OE, put it on a USB key and then import in LM LM do not seem to recognize them - these are the dbx files. Suggestions anyone please?
    Thank you in advance.
    Jeff.

    If both computers use the same e-mail address, you must do this to get the messages on both.
     
    On both machines: tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
     
    On a single computer only, make sure to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.

  • How to manage multiple e-mail accounts in Outlook Express?

    How to configure different e-mail accounts in Outlook Express?

    Hi Helen,

    To configure e-mail different accounts in Outlook Express follow the steps below:

    1. for each of your email accounts, find the type of email (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) account, the name of the incoming mail server (example: mail.isp.com) and the name of the outgoing SMTP mail server (example: SMTP.) FAI.com). this information is usually found in the file FAQ (frequently asked questions) of the provider or by sending an e-mail to the provider.

    2. start Outlook Express.

    3. Select accounts from the Tools menu. Click the mail tab.

    4. click Add on the right side of the box and choose mail. The Internet Connection Wizard appears.

    5. type the full account name (the name that appears in the line of the electronic mail sent from this account). Click Next.

    6. If you already have the new account, click on the top of the page radio button, enter the name of the account, and click Next.

    7. Enter the e-mail server information that you retrieved in the first step. Be sure to type the information exactly as it appears in your notes. Click Next.

    8. Enter the user name, as it appears on the account. The name is usually the above address; for example, the name of the account of [email protected] is "feedback".

    9 type the password to access the account. If the password is incorrect or if you do not remember, contact the mail provider.

    10 check the box remember password if you do not want Outlook to ask the password whenever it checks the mail.

    11. click on finish. Repeat as needed for all e-mail accounts

    12 change account properties by clicking on the name and choosing Properties from the list on the right.

    There is no Outlook Express on Vista, so it's hard to understand what happened.  If you want to run Windows Mail, then it is under "c:\program files\Windows Main\Winmail.exe".  You can copy it (including the quotation marks) and click Start | Search and paste that here and WinMail should start.  But there is no OE in Vista.  Can you download Windows Live Mail installed and that's what you see.  But you need to clarify what exactly you use above all can help more.
