    I'm a noob and have been trying to link my yahoo email account with my outlook 2003 I followed the intructions in one link found here and I can now send emails but getting an error messege for receiving.

    the error messege:

    Task '127.0.0.1 - Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your incomming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

    Thanks for the link. The problem I'm having is with a free yahoo account the link I used that I found works for sending emails but not on receiving that's why I'm getting the error message and hoping to find a solution

    Ah okay.

    Yahoo Free doesn't support pop3, so try downloading YPOPs: http://majorgeeks.com/YPOPs_d2153.html

    Then see if this works:

    YPOPs! and Outlook 2003

    1. Select Tools -> Email Accounts from the main menu
    2. Select Add a new email account and click o*n Next
    3. Select POP3 as the Server Type. Click Next
    4. Enter your username and full Yahoo! email address under 'User Information'
    5. Enter your Yahoo! Login id and password under 'Logon Information'
    6. Enter '127.0.0.1' as your Incoming mail server
    7. Enter '127.0.0.1' as the SMTP server as your outgoing mail server
    8. Click o*n the More Settings button and select the Advanced tab
    9. Increase the Server Timeout to 'Long' (10 minutes)
    10. Select the Outgoing Server tab
    11. Enable "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication". Select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server".
    12. Click Ok to close the More Settings dialog
    13. Click Next and then Finish
