first, have you paid for a yahoo pop account? you can SEND e-mail
from your yahoo e-mail address but you can't RECEIVE yahoo e-mail from
that account without paying yahoo for that.

second, the POP (inbound) server name for yahoo is pop.mail.yahoo.com.
the SMTP (outbound) server name is smtp.mail.yahoo.co.

Did you use the info here:
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-28.html

Also, do you have a paid Yahoo mail account? Those are the only ones that
work with Outlook without third party addins
