How to Create an ID for Frontiernet.net

Frontier Communications and Yahoo partnered up in mid 2011 to provide Frontier Internet users with access to a Web-based email system. Available at Frontiernet.my.yahoo.com, the Frontiernet.net email system offers unlimited storage, as well as support for POP3 and SMTP email. The latter may be used to automatically receive and send Frontiernet emails from a third-party client like Outlook Express. To set this up, however, you must first configure an Outlook ID.
