Struggling to set up my windows email can you please help me anyone?

My yahoo email is taking ages to upload each picture and I have lots of pictures to send. Due to this I tried to set up my yahoo email to go through my windows email but where it talks about the POP3 or IMAP and SMTP I do not know what to put in there? And can I use my yahoo email through this or do I have to set up a microsoft.com email address. If anyone could help asap I woud much appreciate it.

I assume your using Microsoft Outlook Express. You don't need to worry about IMAP but you do need to know the POP3 and SMTP. POP3 is used to get Emails to your inbox and SMTP is used to send Emails. You need to use :





POP3 = plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com


SMTP = plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com





However before making these changes I recommend that you reset your browser and log back into Yahoo as the task you want to do is very easy using Webmail. Also try another web browser such as Firefox - http://www.getfirefox.com





When setting up SMTP make sure you enable SSL and enter the port number as 465





That should let you send mail.





The problem you are having is that SSL is not enabled. If you enable SSL enter the port as 465. If you cant enable SSL then go to the SMTP settings and change the port from 25 to 587.





Your internet provider will block port 25 and that is why you cannot send email. So change this to 587.





You should now be able to send mail.
Reply:As the last person said it is a lot easier to do it through one of the familiar ones, I would open an email with google and then download Picaso (free through Google software) and then you can easily send them direct through Picaso without all the hassle you are are having at the moment.
