Yahoo mail is at
Windows Live messenger has nothing to do with Yahoo.
In order to use a separate email program, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, or Thunderbird, with Yahoo Mail you need POP3. It is free in the UK but in the US you must pay for Yahoo Mail Plus. For Australia see below. It is also required when you try to transfer the mail using smtp or pop3 to another online email. When you do you can set the servers as follows:
Incoming (pop3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (UK pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk)
Outgoing (smtp) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (UK smpt.mail.yahoo.co.uk)
NOTE: The same servers are used for ymail and rocketmail. Use the entire email address as the Yahoo ID.
For Yahoo 7 (Australia) go to
You can also look at the program Ypops. I have no recommendation for or against.
