I believe (haven't tried it yet, but i plan to) that Mozilla's Thunderbird email client (Similiar to  Outlook Express; made by the people who brought you the Firefox browser) will let you check you free htmail accounts.\n\nI've read this at more than one place, but I've yet to try it.

to configure any accoun in outlook you need to know their POP and SMTP server addresss\n\nPOP and SMTP service for Free yahoo mail had been discontinued long time back\n\nif you still want it, you can upgrade your yahoo account and get their pop and smtp server address in your outlook\n\nbut you can configure your free hotmail and gmail accounts ;) [for free]\n\nEDIT\n the above mentioned site give you access to redirect mails from yahoo server to outlook {i,e POP access}\nbut they dont give out SMTP access\n\nin simple words..you can recieve mails but you wil not be able to send mails

Hotmail can for free. You have to set up an account with a http:// server.\n\nI think you can with Yahoo, but they charge.

Outlook Express:\n\n1. Tools > Options\n2. Click on Receipts\n3. Check the box "Request a read receipt for all sent messages"\n\nBut not 100% guaranteed as the user may have it turned off, or refuse to send it

Hotmail won't allow it unless you pay for one of their premium accounts.

YOUR OUTLOOK Operation  might have failed if you did not set up the Outlook express properly, try to follow these steps and you will get over it.\n\n\n1. Click the Start button.\n\n2.\nPoint to All Programs.\n\n3.\nClick Outlook Express.\n\n\nOpening Outlook Express from the Start menu\n\n\n4.\nIf asked whether you'd like to open this particular account automatically every time you start Outlook Express, click Yes (if you do) or No (if you don't).\n\nIf you don't want to be asked this question again, click to check the Always perform this check... box.\n\n5.\nCheck When Outlook Express starts, go directly to my Inbox.\n\nOutlook Express directs all incoming mail to the Inbox, so it makes sense to bypass this opening page.\n\nIf you don't see the list of folders and contacts on the left, click Layout on the View menu. Click Contacts and Folder List to check them, and then click OK.\n\n\n\nOutlook Express list of folders\n\n\nQuick start. You'll notice that when you use Outlook Express regularly, Windows XP will put the Outlook Express icon on the Start menu (along with other programs you've used recently). In that case, just click the Outlook Express icon in the Start menu to open the program.\n\n\nTop of page\nSet Up an Outlook Express E-Mail Account\nThe Internet Connection Wizard makes short work of setting up your online mailbox by walking you through each step for every e-mail account you set up.\n\n1.\nBefore you get going, make sure you know your email address along with the following information. (You may need to contact your ISP, Internet Service Provider, to get it.)\n\nFirst, information about the e-mail servers:\n\n• The type of e-mail server you use: POP3 (most e-mail accounts), HTTP (such as Hotmail), or IMAP\n\n• The name of the incoming e-mail server\n\n• For POP3 and IMAP servers, the name of the outgoing e-mail server (generally SMTP)\n\n\nSecond, information about your account:\n\n• Your account name and password\n\n(For some solid advice about making a secure password, read the Create strong passwords article.)\n\n• Find out if your ISP requires you to use Secure Password Authentication (SPA) to access your e-mail account—yes or no is all that's required.\n\n\n2.\nStart Outlook Express, and on the Tools menu, click Accounts.\n\nIf the Internet Connection Wizard starts up automatically, skip ahead to step 4.\n\n3.\nClick Add, and then click Mail to open the Internet Connection Wizard.\n\n\n\nMail option from the Add button\n\n\n4.\nOn the Your Name page of the wizard, type your name as you want it to appear to everyone who gets e-mail from you, and then click Next.\n\nMost people use their full name, but you can use any name—even a nickname—that people will recognize.\n\n5.\nOn the Internet Explorer Address page, type your e-mail address, and then click Next.\n\n6.\nOn the E-mail Server Names page, fill in the first block of information that you gathered from your ISP in step 1, and then click Next.\n\n\n\nInternet Connection Wizard's E-mail Server Names\n\n\nNote: If you chose HTTP as your incoming e-mail server—as for a Hotmail or MSN account—this wizard page changes slightly so you can identify your HTTP mail service provider.\n\n7.\nOn the Internet Mail Logon page, type your account name and password.\n\n\n\nInternet Connection Wizard's Internet Mail Logon\n\n\nNote: If you're concerned about break-ins to your e-mail, click to clear the check in the Remember Password box. You'll then be prompted for the password each time you send or retrieve mail.\n\n8.\nClick Next, and then click Finish.\n\nYou're ready to send your first e-mail!\n\nUnsure if your new e-mail account is working?

in order to use outlook or outlook express with Yahoo Mail, you need to be on the Yahoo Mail Plus Service ($$).  The free Yahoo email accounts cannot be accessed via POP3.

You don't!  That particular toolbar was removed by Microsoft.  You will have to go into your all programs file and create desktop shortcut, to access your Outlook express.  Wasn't that nice of them!

You have to have paid accounts in order to access yahoo or hotmail through Outlook,Outlook Express or Incredimail, but if you have a paid account, you can use any of these.

Yes and no... \n\nThe free Yahoo accout will only let you access your mail through a wed browser (Internet Explorer, FireFox, NetScape, etc...) \n\nTo use Outlook to access your mail you need a account that can be access by "Post Office Protocol" or "POP3" ... you can get Yahoo to provide you with that service but they charge you for it... I forget the price... $20-40 per year I think... \n\nIn POP3 the Client program (Outlook or Outlook Express) links to a "Mail Server" Program that runs at your mail provider (say Yahoo) and after some level of authentacation the server will reply with a list of messages that it is currently holding for the account...  The client can then direct the server it send any or all of the held messages and whether or not to delete them from the server... the messages are then sent to the client as data files... \n\nOnce the client receives the message it is stored on your local computer can be displayed by the Client (Outlook) at any time regardless of whether the local computer has access to the Internet or not... Very useful if you don't have 24/7 access to the net (think dial-up and sharing the line with voice)\n\n\n\nEnder

Depends on what e-mail site you are trying to get mail from.  If Yahoo mail, it is pop.yahoo.com and smtp.yahoo.com.\n\nHowever, you can not use Outlook Express to access a free Yahoo e-mail account.  You have to pay for Yahoo Plus e-mail before you can use Outlook Express
