I am just setting it up now, and I type in my User Name and password (like I
am supposed to) and the screen keeps popping back up asking me again. There
is no error message, just tells me to do it again.

Do you have a paid yahoo account? That is the only way you can get it in
outlook.

You never mentioned WHICH Yahoo domain to which you try to connect.
Yahoo.com requires paid accounts to use their POP3/SMTP servers;
otherwise, all you get is the HTTP webmail interface to freebie
Yahoo.com accounts. YahooPOPs can be used as a local
POP3/SMTP-to-HTTP proxy (you connect your POP3/SMTP client to
YahooPOPs when then connects to Yahoo's webmail).

There are some regional Yahoo domains that still permit POP3/SMTP
access. I don't use them but some users have said Yahoo.co.uk and
Yahoo.co.au still provide POP3/SMTP access for freebie accounts.
