Vista - outlook wont take pop settings ??

I was using windows mail, then loaded outlook when I installed office 2003 ( wanted word) windows mail was working fine. I lost all my contacts and mail that was in win. Mail ( I thought it would transfer over with the install ) losing the info was no biggie as it’s a new computer. The problem is at first I could recieve, mail with outlook but not send.
Windows did a self analysis I suspect and it told me I needed to install updates. So I did a full updates install and now I can’t send or receive ??
I have a business mail account threw yahoo and used there auto configure to set up outlook just as I did for windows mail. I also tried a manual install of the settings ( although they were showing as correct) but still no mail.
Any ideas as to what could be the problem ??
This is a bran new computer but it has all the updates installed and has trend as my virus protection.
Running Vista 64bit.
Thanks for any help

Hi fun4now,

Looks like you're going to have to setup your e-mail account(s) manually through Outlook. I would suggest you go back to Yahoo and find the instructions for configuring Outlook 2003.

And before anyone tells you otherwise, Office 2003, as well as Outlook 2003 IS compatible with Vista x64 - Follow this link Windows Vista Compatibility Microsoft Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 and hit the 64-bit tab. I also know this because I used Office 2003 (which included Outlook 2003) with Vista x64 for awhile before upgarding to 2007.

And updating to office 2003 should not have had any affect on Windows mail. So something flaky is going on there.

Hello guys,

to download yahoo to outlook, you have to have " ypops "

YPOPs! :: Free POP3/SMTP Access to Yahoo! Mail

then follow instructions. outlook saves passwords unlike 2002.

****** CAUTION ******* I have been going to this site and it keeps reloading and stating it wants to download something.

TRY THIS LINK INSTEAD http://wareseeker.com/download/ypops....rar/7c9174e6e IT'S AN .EXE


FORGET IT, YPOPS NO LONGER WORKS..... VERY SORRY

While pacinitaly "might" have a fix, I would do as I suggested earlier and check with yahoo to see if they in fact do have procedures to configure Outlook with Yahoo first! Especially since you said yahoo let you "auto configure" at first.

If that doesn't work, "then" you may want to give pacinitaly's fix a try.

Start with the simple.

I have to ask...

fun4now, is your acct w/ yahoo a paid acct?
If not, that may be why you can't get mail.

In outlook (2002), I have verizon fios that gives me the ability to access my gmail and the verizon.net site. (pop access info )
I used to use ypops to get yahoo but it no longer works.

Based on his post, I "think" he has a paid yahoo account, thus the reason I suggested he goes to yahoo and get the info he needs to configure outlook

But yeah, your question is right on point.

Your right sygnus21,

ohhhhh.... you have an exelent website. I love landscapes!!!!!!

Thanks. Did you sign my guessbook?

I have now

thanks guys. i have a paid website with business mail account threw the site name.
i don't know what happened to windows mail its just gone ??


wow cool i just found it
well slap me and call me Happy, I'll just use windows mail and delete outlook. vista's windows mail is fine, and working.
i have to say at this point i have all the bugs worked out.

i just got my laptop wireless attached to my desktop and receiving INTERNET from my dial up connection on my desktop threw my wireless connection to my laptop, thats been a bug in my arzzz for a wile now. ( thanks to Vista its working)

i just found windows mail and its working great.

i upgraded my laptop with the last crash to a game ready laptop, so my games are working great.

i gotta say I'm good to go if i get my N52TE working, but thats a small bug i can live without if i have to. i wont loss any sleep over it, if i cant figure it out ill take it back and get an X-Box360 controller instead.

big big thanks to all that offered help.
