I do not have a paid acct with Yahoo, but thought that with Ypops one could
use Outlook with a free Yahoo acct. In the tutuorial I followed, it
instructed me to use 127.0.0.1 as both my outgoing and incoming mail
server.

It's always best to mention all the pertinent facts when you post. That
you're using Ypops is very pertinent. You've looked over the help
information on the Ypops web page, correct? Sounds like you have issues
with Ypops, not Outlook.
