I pay Yahoo, so I assume I have the Premium. &nbsp;Also, we use our Yahoo account fine on another computer.

I just handed down my Lenovo laptop to my wife. &nbsp;It's running Windows 7. &nbsp;I deleted my Outlook email and data settings, and am trying to set it up for her. &nbsp;Adding her PST data file was no problem, but when I try to set up &nbsp;her Yahoo mail I get the attached error. &nbsp;I confirmed that her email and password (as well as the computer's internet connection) were functioning - I was able to log into her Yahoo email online - but for some reason Outlook can't connect to the Yahoo server. &nbsp;Please advise.<br />

I just handed down my Lenovo laptop to my wife.  It's running Windows 7.  I deleted my Outlook email and data settings, and am trying to set it up for her.  Adding her PST data file was no problem, but when I try to set up  her Yahoo mail I get the attached error.  I confirmed that her email and password (as well as the computer's internet connection) were functioning - I was able to log into her Yahoo email online - but for some reason Outlook can't connect to the Yahoo server.  Please advise.

Setting up Outlook 2013 for Yahoo Mail

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.

Outlook

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
