5.. In the text box labelled Display Name, type your name and click
"Next."
6.. In the Email Address box, type your full business mail address (e.g.,

8.. Type "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP)
Server box.

10.. Click "Next."
11.. In the Account Name box, enter: your Yahoo! ID
12.. In the Password box, enter: your Yahoo!Password.
13.. If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the

To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server:
1.. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2.. Select the "Mail" tab.
3.. Double-click the account labeled "pop.yahoo.com."
4.. Select the "Advanced" tab.
5.. In the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a
copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on
the Yahoo! Mail server as well as on your local computer. Do not check this
box if you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server once
you have received them in Outlook Express.
