Question : Adding yahoo email account to outlook 2007

Hi,
Need to add yahoo email account to outlook 2007.  I inputted the following -
User Information
Your name:             username [not email address]
E-mail Address:      [email protected]

Server Information
Account Type:            POP3
Incoming mail server:      pop.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail server:      smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Outgoing Server Tab:
Check - My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication
Use same settings as my incoming server

Connection Tab:
Connect using my local area network (LAN)

Advanced Tab:
Incoming server (POP3): 995
Outgoing server (SMTP): 465

Please advise.
Thanks,
Joe

What error message do you get?

Are the ports open?

you should get responses (when I say responses, a blank window with a flashing cursor is fine, just anything other than connect failed!) when you open command prompt and run these commands:

telnet pop.mail.yahoo.com 995
telnet smtp.mail.yahoo.com 465

If you do not get responses, you have a firewall or connectivity issue.
