The pop did it, I can get all my mails from yahoo to outlook 2003, but I had a problem in sending out mails, I’m using the smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk under the SMTP connection. What should I do next? How will I send emails via Outlook using my yahoomail account?

I’m trying to add yahoo to my microsoft outlook e-mail. Everything goes fine until I try to send the test e-mail. It keeps asking for my user name and password, which I’m entering correctly but nothing happens. The “Enter Network Password” box keeps coming back up.

On clicking ’send and receive’ I’m receiving the following error message “Task ‘Hotmail: Folder:Inbox Synchronizing headers.’ reported error (0×800CCCF6) : ‘The server responded ‘Access to Hotmail via Outlook and Outlook Express now REQUIRES A SUBSCRIPTION. Please sign up at http://join.msn.com/general/Email‘. ‘”
Can’t this be done through a free hotmail account?
