    Question Configuring Outlook for a Yahoo account

    Can this be done? I can't figure out how to do it and since MSN doesn't allow free accounts to have Outlook access anymore I wanted to get my Yahoo account to my Outlook.

    Re: Configuring Outlook for a Yahoo account

    I'm getting hotmail into my Outlook program. It stopped for a couple of days, but then they turned it on. I think it was because everyone was forwarding their mail to a different account. I know that I wouldn't pay for it, but it started working again. Haven't had a problem since. Using Office XP

    My ISP is a partner with Yahoo, so I get mail from my Yahoo/Dsl account just fine.

    I see that it's back up now.Thaks for that notice.

    I have two MSN accounts. One is an msn.com and the other is a hotmail.com. I can get the msn.com account to show on Outlook but I can't get the hotmail.com account to show in Outlook. Are there still certain restriction as to what accounts are viewable by Outlook?

    No restriction by Outlook as it supports POP3 and IMAP protocols. More then likely its some limitations by hotmail.
