Joe,

First thing, please turn off the CAPS LOCK key. It may be easier for you to
type that way, but it is much more difficult to read all caps, and it is
considered "shouting" on the newsgroups.

Second,

should give you a good start.

You must have a paid Yahoo acct to use OL. It won't work with free Yahoo.

Knock off the shouting! All caps is shouting. Obviously you do *not* have
a stuck CapsLock key because your Subject field is in mixed case. Shouting
does NOT get you more attention. It gets you ignored!

Some Yahoo domains, like Yahoo UK, still provide access to their POP3 and
SMTP mail hosts for the freebie Yahoo Mail accounts. Some Yahoo domains,
like Yahoo US, do not so all you get with the freebie account is their
webmail interface. Check the help web pages at whatever Yahoo domain that
you use to see if they permit access to their mail hosts for freebie
accounts, or decide to pay them.

You can use YahooPOPs as a local POP3/SMTP-to-HTTP protocol converter proxy
to connect your POP3/SMTP e-mail client to a freebie Yahoo account.
However, from your post, you may lack the understanding of how to set it up.
They have forums that are usually active where you can help from users to
handhold you through the setup procedure for YahooPOPs if the instructions
are beyond you. They have added a wizard that is supposed to automate the
setup but I've never bothered with it since it is already very easy to
setup.
