    I would like to set up my microsoft outlook so that I can use it with my yahoo mail account, but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

    Only paid yahoo mail gets POP3 access, so you can set it up with Outlook. Bottom line, for free accounts, you can only use the web interface!

    I don't think you can do it with a yahoo free account ... it needs to be a business account. Then you would just setup the POP3 and SMTP server in outlook for yahoo.bizmail. Let me know if you have a business account and I can help you further. Otherwise if it is a free account no point explaining more.
