I'm trying to use my yahoo account thur outlook, so when I set it up I did it
for an http server (right?) but when I try to send a message.. I'll type it
up, click send and then it tells me:
An unknown error has occurred. Account:
'http://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&.src=ym', Server:
'http://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&.src=ym', Protocol: HTTPMail,
Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCCF4

I tried putting http://mail.yahoo.com 1st withno luck... the above is what I
copied and pasted out of the sign in page from my yahoo mail. Am I even doing
this right? I hope someone can help me here :)
Thank you for your time.....

No. Yahoo access is POP


but when I try to send a message.. I'll type it

You can't set up a yahoo POP server in Outlook unless you have either a
paid-for yahoo.com account, or a yahoo.uk or (I think) a yahoo.fr email
address.

Yahoo does not provide any HTTP accounts. They only supply POP3 but
*only* if you pay them. Freebie Yahoo Mail accounts don't get POP3
access.

Not 100% true - Yahoo uk and (I think) Yahoo france offer free pop access...

Reread the OP's post (I snipped off the last part in my reply so only
the error was included). Notice "yahoo.COM" was mentioned, not some
other domain for Yahoo.
