Anything you need can be found in help or settings in the account you wish to set up inthere.

Note: that account must support POP3 (wich you should also be able to find out in either help or settings of that account).

Only the payed version of hotmail has that and i believe yahoo doesn't support POP3 either, sorry.

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication)
Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com")
Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., user@yahoo.com)
Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password

Seems, yahoo pop3 is free for some, and is a payed service for some. Server couldn't be contacted or refused my information, here.

Yes, that's what i mean. If it works for you in Outlook Express it will work in Plus! too, you already summed up the settings.

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
Don't forget to change the port number to this one and check the box for SSL
Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com")
try full email adress if not workin without the @yahoo.com
Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password
You can click the test button to see if you got everything put up correctly.

I know this forum is for msg plus! live, but I actually use ypop's for this purpose, it incorporates well with msg plus! lives extended email functionallity.

Get YPOP's Here: http://ypopsemail.com/

Quote: YPOPs! is an application that provides POP3 access to Yahoo! Mail.

How do we do it you ask? Well, this application is more like a gateway. It provides a POP3 server interface at o­ne end to talk to email clients and an HTTP client (browser) interface at the other which allows it to talk to Yahoo!
