182862 2003-10-13 21:07:00 Has anyone successfully used outlook or outlook express to read your yahoo account email?
The yahoo site tells how to set it up.But after setting it up and try to retrieve emails.It keeps asking for my username and password.But they are all right.
Whats wrong?

182865 2003-10-13 23:12:00 It only works if you are on paid yahoo service .
I thought I would give it a try and after lots of playing around with settings I got this email (checked via webmail) from yahoo .
