Joey,

That’s great to hear. I haven’t tried the setup you have. My Yahoo mail goes to a hosted Exchange server, and I connect everything to that. Connecting a smartphone like you have adds a little twist to things since Yahoo mail seems to work differently for smartphones versus desktop devices.

Thanks for updating us on your progress.

Hi Bill,

I think I figured it out. I should have been paying attention to the options I was selecting rather than just blindly copying your instructions. I made the tweaks needed, and it seems to be working . . . . at least so far, so good.

Thanks again for your great instructions.

Hi Bill,

Great instructions for connecting Yahoo email to Outlook. Everything worked like a charm!

I have a question. Is it possible to keep a copy of my inbox in both Yahoo and Outlook where I can delete emails from my inbox in Outlook and it automatically deletes in Yahoo? The reason that I ask is that I like to be able to see my Yahoo inbox on my smartphone. I use Outlook on my laptop to manage my calendar using email invitations from friends using Outlook as well as to manage email when I’m at my laptop.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Thank you Christie! I am both an instructor and tech writer. Too much of the material online is written by techies, for techies, leaving normal people totally bewildered. I see my job to be making this stuff understandable and as easy as possible to work with. It shouldn’t require a degree in computer science to be able to view your Yahoo Mail in Outlook!

Kate,

People in certain countries don’t have to pay, but most of us do. Heaven knows why.
