Welcome to Esato!
You can only use Yahoo email with pop / smtp accounts if you pay for the premium email service called 'Yahoo! mail plus'. If you have this service, then the settings are in your web based control panel.

@rahul7024 - Welcome to esato
Try this
Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)

look at here for yahoo pop3 settings.
Posted by Coxy
I so wish hotmail had pop3 servers.
Posted by Cycovision
Best of luck, but I think you still might have problems unless you're subscribed to Yahoo! Plus
Please prove me wrong and if you do, post your exact settings here

@Cycovision
I have been using Yahoo mail on all my devices, i do not have Yahoo mail plus just a standard Yahoo account with pop3 activated.
The first thing you need to do is activate pop3 mail on your Yahoo account page. Here are my settings for YAHOO mail on my N95 and E61.
User name details before the @yahoo.co.uk
Password obvious really
Incoming Mail Server pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Outgoing Mail Server smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
If you have a Nokia you can get these settings sent straight to your device via this link

Or if you have a SE phone use this link

and i just checked it has both Yahoo.co.uk and Yahoo Mail Plus so both should work.

Hi Marc,
Where on the Yahoo page can the POP3 be activated ? I've looked everywhere in the YH mail options, the only thing i can find is that YH can retrieve your POP3 email from other accounts, but not let you download it from Yahoo...
thanks for yr help !

Hi benitorios
When you open your Yahoo E-Mail page top right corner you will see options click that and the select Mail Options,
then on the far left from the list choose Pop & Forwarding,
then choose Set up or edit forwarding
then select Web and POP Access and next to that is POP settings that will take you to a page with all the correct setting to enter into your device.
Also i have just realised that you can even have all your YAHOO MAIL forwarded to another e-mail address should you so wish. So instead of having to collect your E-Mail from a couple of accounts you can cut down the number by sending your YAHOO Mail to another account and collect it from there. Personally i like to keep these accounts separate and use them for different things but at least you have the choice.
Hope the above is of help.
Marc

Hi Marc,
Thanks for your help. I'm actually using Yahoo Mail Beta, and when i select POP & Forwarding, this is all i get in the main frame :
Upgrade to Mail Plus so you can:
download your Yahoo! Mail in an email client, such as Outlook
forward your Yahoo! Mail to a different address
So i have no other choice in this page than to upgrade to Mail Plus. Maybe i should switch back to original Yahoo mail and see if this option is available. I'll try that later and post back. By the way i'm using Yahoo US (.com), not .co.uk.
Cheers

Hi benitorios
Well in that case there isn't much i can suggest other than not to bother trying Beta software as it is rarely worth it IMO. Made that mistake with Windows Live which gave a less than great user experience for ages although now it it is very good. I hope what you have shown us is not a sign of things to come and is only due to it being in Beta stage otherwise i will definitely not be happy.
Marc

i tried everything but still cant get my phone to recieve mail. i've tried switching the SPA on and off. read somewhere about changing the incoming and outgoing mail ports to 995 and 465 resp but that ddnt work either.

Hi Marc,
actually i was proposed by Yahoo back a year or so ago to upgrade to Yahoo Beta, which is free, and i had agreed. It's just a revamped interface compared to the regular Yahoo Mail. Basically it allows you to drag-drop emails, have a preview pane, which i find quite handy and fast compared to the traditional open-and-read method, and you can have several thumbnails open at the same time (eg. one for your inbox, one with a message you're busy composing, one with an open received email,etc.). All in all, i find it more efficient than the old Yahoo Mail interface, only drawback is is takes longer to load at login.
However it seems the Beta has dropped that possibility of allowing POP3 forwarding. So i'll switch back to original Yahoo and try that , and i can always go back to Yahoo Beta later on.

What is your current incoming port and what network do you use?
Posted by benitorios
Hi all,
well i just tried temporarily using original Yahoo email. I go to mail options, POP & Forwarding, but that section only allows me to select some other accounts which i want to have forwarded to my Yahoo address. It does not let me forward my Yahoo email to another address or mobile device, and of course there are no POP3 settings in sight.
So i guess it's either country-specific (i'm using the yahoo.com) or else you have to pay for the Mail PLus upgrade and then you receive the proper POP3 settings. In the latter case, i believe even with the POP3 settings, they won't let you download your mail until you've upgraded to Mail Plus and paid the 20 bucks.

hello buddy,
kindly tell me the setting of yahoo mail if you find the answer. I have successfully used yahoo in outlook express but problem creates when i send mail recieving is not problem. while my other account of gmail works fine on both sending and recieving
thanks
Posted by benitorios
hi gudduskc,
I think the problem with Outlook Express for sending is that you have to manually change the COM port number from the standard to sth else. I remember seeing this info in one of the threads, but honestly too lazy to look for it...
I've given up trying to set up the YH mail on my phone, i think it won't work until i subscribe for the Yahoo Mail plus.

I to am having trouble with yahoo emails. It works perfectly in outlook express but not on my phone. There are no errors, it just says get and send complete but doesnt actually download my messages.

You do NOT need Yahoo Mail Plus to have pop3 access to your emails. I dont and can access my yahoo email through Outlook Exress fine (just wont work on my P990i). I do think that newer Yahoo accounts cant do it though, you might have to have an account over a certain age (I have had mine for about 6-7 years.)
Posted by goldenface
On the email settings menu there are 3 tabs: Basic, Inbox, Outbox.
I can't see anything to worry about on the Basic tab.
The next tab is Inbox:
Server address: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Username: yours
Password: yours
Downloads Restricsions: This is set to No Restrictions.
Limit No of emails: Smaller than 99999
Receive using Group: Internet (my own).
There isn't really that much to check

UK Yahoo users do not need Mail Plus to access mail through POP3.
Something about how Yahoo was initially giving POP access to everyone and then later withdrawing it but this was deemed illegal in the UK.
Posted by Dogmann
Hi all,
To all of those of you still having problems what happens if you use either of the links on the first page as this will definitely send the right settings to your device.
We have also established that at least in the UK you do not need to have have a plus or premium account although you do need to activate the POP3 option on the YAHOO home page.
I must admit i really have trouble understanding why this is causing some of you so much grief i have been using my Yahoo account on various devices with out any problems at all and this also includes my M600 whilst i had it.
The only other factor that i can possibly think is causing a problem is the Network you are on, maybe you could mention in your post which network you are on because i know for instance that i couldn't get the settings sent when i had a Voda Sim card in the phone. I have also noticed that both Voda and 02 have E-Mail services for you @ a price maybe they have done something to make it either difficult or even impossible for you to do this without paying for the service. Those are the only things i can think of that may be causing all these problems otherwise i am stumped and have no other idea's I'm afraid.
Marc

@jcwhite_uk: in case you havent solved ur problem with downloading msgs yet, have you checked in ur messages options whether you set it on DOWNLOAD HEADERS ONLY. That seems to be ur problem
Posted by 701
It's simple: yahoo.com accounts need Premium Plus (2$/month) to access POP3.
yahoo.co.uk has POP3 free. So if you want POP3 free, register with yahoo.co.uk. That's what I did.
Hope this helps,
