Sicne you do not tell us your Outlook version and what it is that you have done, there's no way we can tell you what's wrong. Include explicit details, including the exact text of any error messages. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

If they are both free accounts, then certainly Yahoo will not work at all, and Hotmail will only work if you have converted to a free Live Hotmail account, you are running Outlook 2003 or 2007, and you have installed the Outlook Connector. |

I am using Outlook 2007 for those of you wondering. The Yahoo account is
free, yes, so why does this mean it will not work? Also, the Hotmail is Windows Live Hotmail. I read somewhere about a connector, but I really didn't understand what it was or how to get it or set it up. Will this connector solve the problem? "Gordon" wrote: "Tracie" wrote in message ...

So I have found the connector, but there are a few different downloads and it
says to download the one best suited for my needs, but how do I know which one I need? "Tracie" wrote: I am using Outlook 2007 for those of you wondering.

You know, I am so stupid, found the one with the exe. at the end so I figured
that part out, but still I'd like to know why being free makes an HTTP account like Yahoo not compatible with Outlook. Thank you! "Gordon" wrote: "Tracie" wrote in message ...

Because Yahoo wants your money. They do not allow POP connections to their free accounts. It's their mail server and disk space. They're free to charge for their services. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
