Last part first... Yes. Any POP3 and SMTP e-mail program will work
if it supports "normal" settings as given by all server (ISP) operators...
There is a page for all the major e-mail programs, and (I think) the
"generic" type of instructions you are specifically asking about.
The good news is, they have a cool way of giving those instructions
that "fills in the blanks" with everything except your password...
Could not be easier... (Note to everyone else... You must be
signed-on as a member to get to these pages...)
To set the options referred to below, you must join Yahoo Delivers...
(You should definitely already be signed up for that, but I would check...)
I went into the site and toggled some of THEIR settings a couple of
times (with an appropriate delay) and that "seemed" to fix the problem
I was having... (In this case, probably just a coincidence...)
Also, Yahoo mail seems to get "cranky" once in a while unless you show
up in the WEB interface once in a while and (I suppose) get an eye full
of some of their ads... That has "also" seemed to solve some mysterious
problems more often than not... On the other hand, it is free and there is
really no one to complain to in person so tech support is all "canned" crap...
The above is just subjective opinion based on experience.

> I would agree that some thing is going on at Yahoo mail to cause these problems. I have been able to get my mail only part of the
time thru Outlook Express and can almost never send. I have only been using Outlook Express a short time and thought it was only my
problem but now I am starting wonder about that.

Express but didn't mention any problems they may be having.
