Re: Setting Yahoo Outgoing(SMTP) Email

Yahoo! offers POP access to Yahoo! Mail as a free feature exclusively
for Yahoo! Delivers members. If you agreed to receive special offers in
your mailbox when you registered for Yahoo! Mail, you are automatically
a member of Yahoo! Delivers.
If you are not sure if you are a member of Yahoo! Delivers, and you are
currently signed into your account, check your status on this page. If
you are not signed into your account, you can check your status or
become a Yahoo! Delivers member by doing the following:

Sign into your Yahoo! Mail account
Click on "Options" on the left hand navigation bar
Click on Yahoo! Delivers on the Options Page
Click "Yes" under Sign Up
Fill out the rest and click the "Finished" button

Once you have completed these steps, you are ready to set up your Yahoo!
Mail account so you can read your messages on the Web and also through
another email program. Click on "Options" and then on POP Access &
Forwarding and follow the directions on the screen.

This is true for the CC editions of Yahoo! mail outside of the U.S.A. I have
a Yahoo! Australia ('yahoo.com.au') and Yahoo! Japan ('yahoo.co.jp')
account, and am subscripted to both. I use:

pop.mail.yahoo.com.au:995 w/SSL
pop.mail.yahoo.co.jp:995 w/SSL
smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au:465 w/SSL
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.jp:465 w/SSL

However, free accounts in the U.S.A. ('yahoo.com') no longer offer POP3/SMTP
access to subscribers of Yahoo! Delivers. You must pay $19.99 per year for a
Yahoo! Mail Plus account.

For a time I was able to log in to 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com' with my ISP
'@pacbell.net' accounts; but Yahoo! has recently tightened up access to the
U.S.A. servers; my login now only works with 'smtp.att.yahoo.com'. And I
must "verify" any email address I use as a sender, if that email address is
not associated with the login ID (i.e., if I wanted to use my free Yahoo!
Mail '@yahoo.com' email address as the sender from an account whose Yahoo!
login ID is '@pacbell.net', I must go through a verification process. And I
can only have 10 such verified email addresses per account.) And that
includes using any '@pacbell.net' sub account email address with any other
'@pacbell.net' sub account. We can have up to ten '@pacblell.net' sub
accounts per Primary '@pacbell.net account.
I rescinded my Yahoo! Delivers subscription in April, 2002, which is when
Yahoo! removed POP3/SMTP access on free 'yahoo.com' accounts.

It was also in that year that my ISP (then SBC, now AT&T) signed a contract
with Yahoo! for handling email for SBC subscribers. The new service, called,
"SBC Yahoo! DSL Service (then; now called, "at&t Yahoo! HSI"), required
migration for existing SBC subscribers. New SBC subscribers were
automatically included in the co-branding agreement.

Please don't post stuff that only applies to a few localities
without disclosing that fact.
AFAIK, free POP access by signing up for "Yahoo Delivers" is only
offered to Canadian residents.

Only still available on *select* Yahoo domains. Yours is one of them.
Mine isn't. The OP will have to see if their Yahoo's regional domain
still includes the "reward" which most other Yahoo Mail users lost
several years ago. Below is a copy of the e-mail notification (noticed
the year) that they sent out when they discontinued the reward (of
POP3/SMTP access) with their voluntary Yahoo Delivers guaranteed spam
delivery service.

In addition to Gary's suggestion about not clarifying the extent of applicability.
Yahoo Delivers' toggle to allow pop3 for U.S. based accounts ceased coincidental with the requirement to subscribe to Yahoo Plus
to maintain pop3 capability.
