How do I import files from my yahoo account to my outlook express 6. So it shows on my outlook express 6 tree. As yahoo inbox1 person needs an answerI do too

If you have a free Yahoo mail account in the USA that isn't sponsored by your Internet service provider, Yahoo doesn't allow you to access it from Outlook Express. That requires a paid Yahoo! Mail Plus account. I have one, and I think it's well worth the small cost. Boulder Computer Maven Microsoft Most Valuable Professional

Thanks Steve. My free Yahoo mail account ends in .com.au. I have set up my mail server in outlook express. From tools / accounts and so on. It shows the new account on the mail tab. Just doesn’t show it on the left side of the inbox tree. Like yahoo inbox

You're welcome, Ellis. Outlook Express uses the same Inbox for all accounts. It doesn't have a separate Inbox for each account.You can create a Yahoo folder and a message rule to automatically move messages from the Yahoo account into that folder.Boulder Computer MavenMicrosoft Most Valuable Professional

Thanks again Steve. That sounds like it can work for me. So can you run me through? How do I create a folder that will be synchronized to my yahoo account. That runs from my outlook express tree.

To create a new folder, click File > New > Folder . To automatically move messages sent to the Yahoo account into the new folder:1. Click Tools > Message Rules > Mail .2. Select the Condition Where the message is from the specified account .3. Select the Actions Move it to the specified folder andStop processing more rules .4. Under Rule Description , click specified account and select the Yahoo account.5. Under Rule Description , click specified folder and select the Yahoo folder.6. Click OK .Boulder Computer MavenMicrosoft Most Valuable Professional

Hey Steve I’m appreciating your help. Ok. I created a new folder Named it yahoo. The only thing is it branches from local folders not outlook express tree. Now I get an error message…The server responded with an error. Account: 'mail.yahoo.com.au', Server: 'mail.yahoo.com.au', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Cannot connect to POP server 203.84.217.229 (203.84.217.229:995), connect error 10060', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90

Verify that the account settings that you made are right, especially the port and SSL settings on the Yahoo account's Advanced tab.Boulder Computer Maven Microsoft Most Valuable Professional
