Have you been having problems using your Yahoo mail account in your Outlook or any email client for that matter because you don't know the pop server settings and all that nonsense? Some of you may actually have the correct pop server settings but can't use it since the Yahoo mail account that you have is the FREE version. Does $20.00 cost too much for you to upgrade to the paid version of Yahoo mail a.k.a. Yahoo plus? Well worry no more 'coz the answer is here! Below is a step by step guide on how to work around the system so that you can incorporate your FREE yahoo mail account in your Outlook or most email clients.
