Hi Gary,

I don't think it can be done with Outlook Express. In Outlook, one creates
a mail folder in the folder pane on the left, then select properties, and associate
a certain website (ie- yahoo.com) with that folder, so that when you click the folder to see its 'contents', it takes you to yahoo or wherever. I don't believe I was able to do that when I was running Outlook Express.

HTH,

Carter

Gary,

It is funny, you can check your Yahoo! mail with Outlook Express, but as of this week, they now charge a monthly fee for it!

I would go ahead and try it and see if it works.

In Outlook Express, go to Tools and then scroll down to Accounts.

Click 'Add' and then 'Mail'

For Display Name put in what ever you would like your Name to read.

Then enter your email address.

Then your POP3 settings should read pop.mail.yahoo.com
Your SMTP server should be your ISP.

Enter your account name(Yahoo ID) and then your password.

Then click next and Finish.

Done!

Mark
