Yes, the other person is right if you haven't paid for the yahoo services for pop mail retrieval

your configuration is correct.

but if you want free account just go to www.lycos.co.uk
pop.lycos.co.uk
smtp.lycos.co.uk
username: myname@lycos.co.uk for login
password: yourpassword

Your configuration is correct. The problem is not the configuration.

Yahoo stopped the free POP3 facility and its a paid service now. So if you want to read the yahoo mail through outlook express or any other email client, you need to pay for theservice. Until and unless you do that the username/password box will keep popping out and will not authorise.
