Use Yahoo Mail and Outlook Together

Make Your Life a Little Bit Easier

Have you ever though about getting your Yahoo Mail account working with Outlook so you can work with all your email in one place? It would be a smart move, and will make your life a little bit easier. In this article, we talk about how to make Yahoo and Outlook work together like a military marching band.

First a warning. If you don't know what you are doing, you will run into a brick wall almost immediately. That's because you can't craft a Yahoo Outlook connection with a free of charge Yahoo Mail account. But you will be able to, if you convert your free account into a premium account. Yahoo's premium email accounts are:

• Yahoo Mail Plus
• Yahoo Business Email

For a mixture of reasons, Yahoo blocks connections from their gratis electronic mail accounts to Outlook and other external email readers. But the convenience of making this Yahoo to Outlook connection are so large, it can be worth the minute expenditure of money to go up to a Yahoo Mail Plus account. A Mail Plus account works with Outlook and allows you to keep the identical email address you are already using.

So that's one likely problem averted. Here is the next thing, which is more of an issue to be informed of than an authentic obstruction. Usually, after you set up a Yahoo Outlook link, you will notify the Yahoo mail servers not to keep copies of mail on the sever once Outlook downloads them.

That means you won't be able to read your mail through the Yahoo web interface anymore. That's a clear-cut disadvantage, but almost always the way to go. Why? Because if you do not do things that way, you'll have your mail on Outlook, and have a separate copy in Yahoo which you will need to take care of. Two separate copies of the same message means additional effort for you.

As you have seen, connecting Yahoo Mail to Outlook is not something you should do without expert guidance. Still, with comprehensive, tested information, it isn't hard to set this up at all. Plus I know precisely where you will be able to come across those complete, tested instructions for Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2010.

With only a few minutes of effort plus a tiny financial expense, you can simplify your life by getting all your Yahoo Mail to turn up in Outlook.
