Your Server

Outgoing server?

I just bought my husband a new IBook and got him a yahoo email account. He cannot send emails because the suggested outgoing mail server of smtp.mail.yahoo.com is not being accepted. We have Comcast as our provider for internet service and we are wireless through NetGear. Can anyone suggest what the outgoing server should be?

1. * Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.com * Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com * But please read below For yahoo mail you have 2 options If you are using yahoo email you can upgrade to yahoo mail plus to get the full pop3 service http://billing.mail.yahoo.com/bm/Upgrades Click this link for yahoo mail pop3 settings http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-35. html Or you can use free ypops fully compatible with yahoo mail http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/E-mail/Mail-Utilities/YahooPOPs.shtml
2. He can only use yahoo.com addresses with pop3 and/pr mailforwarding if he is paying for the service called mail plus.. set up another free e-mail account in the IBook (yahoo.de, aol.com etc)
