I'm not sure what you are doing -- I'm not sure what I did either ...

POP Yahoo! Mail Plus with Microsoft Outlook Express
Here's how to "POP" mail from Yahoo! Mail Plus into your Outlook Express:
1.. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2.. Select the "Mail" tab.
3.. Click the "Add" button.
4.. From the Add menu, click "Mail."
5.. In the text box labeled Display Name, type your name and click "Next."
6.. In the Email Address box, type your Yahoo! Mail address (be sure to
include "@yahoo.com") and click "Next."
7.. Under "My incoming mail server is a." select "POP3."
8.. Type "plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or
HTTP) Server box.
9.. Type "plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com" in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
box.
10.. Click "Next."
11.. In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address
without the "@yahoo.com").
12.. In the Password box, type your Yahoo! Mail password.
13.. If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the
"Remember password" box.
14.. Do not check the boxes labeled "Log on using Secure."
15.. Click "Next."
16.. Click "Finish."
<JS>
I finished at Step 16.
</JS>
17.. Select 'plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com' under 'Account,' and click
'Properties.'
18.. Click the "Servers" tab.
19.. Under "Outgoing Mail Server" check the box next to "My server
requires authentication"
20.. Click the 'Advanced' tab.
21.. Under "Outgoing mail Server (SMTP)", check the box next to "This
server requires a secure connection (SSL). Enter port number "465" in the
"Outgoing mail (SMTP)" field.
22.. Under "Incoming mail (POP3)", check the box next to "This server
requires a secure connection (SSL)". The port number in the "Incoming mail
(POP3)" field should automatically change from 110 to 995. If it doesn't,
make sure the port number is set to 995.
<JS>
I'm using Outgoing Port 25 and Incoming Port 110. I see the instruction that
says to change the port to 995, but it also says the port should
automatically redirect there. I took all of the default settings as I worked
through the wizard.
