Assuming you are a paid Yahoo subscriber, did you add your Yahoo e-mail
address in the Outlook TOOLS/ACCOUNTS/ADD menu?

If you follow the interent accounts wizard, there should be no major problem
in setting up your Yahoo account in Outlook.

You just need to know:

- your e-mail address (yourusername@yahoo.com)
- pop.mail.yahoo.com is the incoming POP mail server
- smtp.mail.yahoo.com is the outgoing SMTP mail server
- incoming mail server username
  (yourusername without the @yahoo.com)
- password (optional)
- whether or not you want Outlook to remember your password

- MUST CLICK the "my server requires authentication" box

There could be some other parameters, but I just use the Internet Account
wizard's default parameters.

I just choose to send (not receive) e-mail through Outlook/2000, and don't
know if the wizard for Outlook/2003 is different.

Good luck!
