Yahoomail into outlook 2016

dranzer01

Bloody hell, i do not think ive ever been able to sync my yahoo to outlook over the years - never seems to work for me...

If someone can help me that would be really helpful -

ive followed online guide step by step yet this error keeps coming up:


Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

Send test email message: The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

I think you need to set it up as IMAP.
