PampChefJoy said:You are paying extra for the POP access, right?
Here is the help file: POP Yahoo! Mail Plus with Microsoft Outlook 2002 (XP) and 2003
PampChefJoy said:Thunderbird isn't the solution because she already has Outlook.... The $19.99/yr charge is for POP access to Yahoo. (Or do you have a Yahoo-related ISP like SBC or AT&T?)
The only other thing you can do is switch to an email account that offers free pop access (Gmail is a notable one).

Thanks Joy and KG for your help!!
PampChefJoy said:Yahoo charges for POP access... the ability to download messages to a third-party software like Outlook or Thunderbird. Thunderbird just allows you to not pay for Outlook... it doesn't help if your email program doesn't allow POP downloads.
PampChefJoy said:That's why I use Gmail - because POP access is free, and because it's not tied to an ISP, so if I change my internet provider, I can still use the same email addresses.
ChefBeckyD said:I've often thought of changing it, but it's been on all of my info since I started w/ PC, and I am so afraid I'll lose contacts if I change!
The_Kitchen_Guy said:Why ever would you want to? Outlook? YUK. I use Thunderbird and I'm very pleased with it.
If you're hooked up to yahoo through your ISP, like att.net or the like, it's all in your yahoo files. It's been awhile but I can go look at mine for you. (That's how I set up Thunderbird. I got tired of AT&T's *&^$%#! advertising.)
To add your Yahoo email account to Outlook, open Outlook and go to the File tab. Then, click on "Add Account" and enter your Yahoo email address and password. Outlook will automatically configure the settings for your Yahoo account.
Yes, you can use Outlook to access your Yahoo emails on multiple devices. Simply add your Yahoo account to Outlook on each device and your emails will sync across all devices.
No, switching to Outlook from Yahoo will not affect your old emails. All of your old emails will still be accessible and stored in your Yahoo account.
To import your Yahoo contacts into Outlook, first export your contacts from Yahoo as a CSV file. Then, in Outlook, go to the File tab and click on "Open & Export". Choose "Import/Export" and follow the prompts to import your Yahoo contacts from the CSV file.
Yes, you can still use Yahoo Mail after switching to Outlook. However, it is recommended to use Outlook to access your Yahoo emails for a more organized and streamlined email experience.
