Can't receive emails from Yahoo via Outlook.com.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community. We understand that you are unable to receive emails from your Yahoo account via Outlook.com. Please be informed that the common cause of not receiving emails from third party domain is POP/IMAP misconfiguration server settings (depends on how you configure them) or due to adjustments on their server.

If you still encounter this issue, we suggest that you answer the following questions listed below for further investigation:

• Does the issue happen when using a different computer?
• Does the same thing happen when you access your account from the same computer with a different browser?
• Are you accessing your account via webmail (Outlook.com) or mail client (Windows live mail)?

We look forward to receiving your response.

Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I have a custom domain hosted by Yahoo on their servers (pop.bizmail.yahoo.com and smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com). I set up Outlook (not Windows Live) to retrieve and send e-mails through that custom domain. This worked fine for many months, then suddenly....

The way I set it up is as follows:

1. My primary alias was an e-mail address on my custom domain

2. A send/receive account was set up using the pop/smtp server settings provided by Yahoo

As I said, this worked fine for many months, and then just stopped, with an error message saying "we were unable to sign in to your pop server, please make sure your username and password are correct" (which they were).

I have tried setting up a different primary alias (a *** Email address is removed for privacy *** address) and then removing and re-adding the custom address as a new account - but I still get the same error, and Outlook won't add the new account.

I am now able to SEND mails through Outlook using my custom domain (i.e., using my custom address as an alias), but completely unable to retrieve mails. Repeated attempts to set up the custom account again as a send/receive account are unsuccessful - Outlook simply appears unable to see and talk to Yahoo's servers, I keep getting the same error message (as above).

Please note:

1. The pop/smtp settings, ports etc. are correct - exactly as provided by Yahoo, and the same as what was working for months before the current problems

2. My username and password have been correctly entered (repeatedly!)

3. I travel a lot, and am often in different time zones around the world - I never change the local time on my computer. I am wondering whether the problem may be due to:

a. Time differences or mismatches creating sync problems

b. Connections through servers in different countries creating the problem

Can anyone help? I just want Outlook to talk to Yahoo and get me my mails!!!!

Thanks!! :-)

Hey all,

I know that Yahoo has had serious issues all this week, and also that they are not the most reliable outfit, but I really don't think it's them. My problem began weeks ago -- intermittently at first, but now, Outlook just can't connect to Yahoo.

I received some private replies, and the moderators asked me to try and connect to Yahoo through a desk to client. I was successful with several clients, including MS Outlook (desktop). So, the problem is NOT Yahoo.

The moderators confirmed as much to me through private messages on this thread. They assured me that they would look into it. That was over 3 weeks ago. Nothing since.

Waiting ....

Hi Mike,

I suggest you to remove your Yahoo account and then re-add following the steps given in the link below.

Add all your email accounts to Outlook.com
