Hi, is it possible to use outlook express to download my btyahoo email (on dial up)?
If so has anybody got the required settings.

Regards

Yes you can, the information is provided when you login to BT Yahoo under Help:

Here you go, SOURCE BT YAHOO:

Setting up email accounts in Outlook Express

Note, if you are trying to create an email address for someone else in your household you must first set them up with a sub account so that the new address will be recognised by the BT Yahoo! mail servers. Once that is done you can follow the instructions below so that email to and from the address can be managed via Outlook Express.

Setting up email accounts in Outlook Express

Please watch our audio-visual guide to setting up email in Outlook Express

We also have a small piece of software which automatically sets up the correct email account information for you: To automatically update your email settings, please click here to sign in to My Account and then click on the 'Configure my email client settings' link shown underneath your email address. (Please note: this software will not work on a Mac.)

Alternatively you may set it up manually. These are the instructions for Outlook Express on a PC:


Open Outlook Express, click [Tools] then select Accounts
Click the [Mail] tab, then click [Add] and select Mail
The wizard will start. Type in your name then click [Next]
Enter your email address (yourname@btopenworld.com or yourname@btinternet.com) then click [Next]
Enter the BT Yahoo! mail server address: mail.btinternet.com then click [Next]
Enter your username and password then click [Next]
Click [Finish]
To complete the account creation process click [Tools] then select Accounts
Click the [Mail] tab, then click [Properties]
Click the My server requires authentication box to place a tick inside. Click [OK]


Repeat the above process for each mail account you want to set up, including sub accounts. Each sub account will have a different email address and password.

If you're having trouble sending email from Outlook Express (or other email software), it may mean you need to switch on SMTP authentication.

Many thanks for your time and effort.
