I set it up yesterday, think have configured it corrrectly via outlook express and I can send emails on it. Cannot receive though (either if send via outlook or internet) and error message says my account doesnt exist!
Any ideas?? Very grateful if you could help

Off hand I'd say you had the pop server wrong, but email clients sometimes give misleading errors.

Is this what you have ?plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com

This is really obvious, but I've made this mistake before, are you using the right domain .com/ .co.uk to sent TO your yahoo acct? (I'm wondering why it's saying your acct doesn't exist, even when you are working directly in Yahoo, not via OE.)

Receiving emails is sometimes interrupted on Outlook by not having a box ticked or unticked (can't remember which) to do with using secure logons to the Yahoo server. However, that wouldn't affect being able to receive emails directly to Yahoo online.

You may need to send a case through to Yahoo help.

not obvious at all to me - it was indeed the domain
thanks all
