Entourage and Yahoo problems...need help, urgent!!!

[Perseus]

I am having problems sending email from my Yahoo account. I learned that I needed to connect through something called SMTP, so I installed Entourage. I got Entourage set up, so now sending email is not a problem. I can easily send email from Entourage, and it will register that it is coming from my Yahoo account. However, when I click Send/Receive, I cannot RECEIVE emails in Entourage. The new emails I receive will show up in Yahoo in my inbox, but not in the Entourage inbox. So my situation is: I can receive emails in Yahoo, but can only send them in Entourage. I would like to be able to SEND and RECEIVE using Entourage. Thanks!!!!!!!!

What server are you using for your mail server? Your SMTP server is something like "smtp.yahoo.com" and there should be another for your mail server (which is what is used when you receive email)... it should be something like mail.yahoo.com or something...

Here's what SMTP stands for. It is how most email is sent.

SMTP=Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

Now, any mail program needs you to point it to a way to receive email. Most providers use a protocol called POP.

POP=Post Office Protocol

Here is a the Yahoo Microsoft Entourage setup page.

The last link should help you in your setup. Good luck.
