How to Set Up Outlook 2000 to Check Yahoo Mail thumbnail
Read your downloaded emails in Outlook 2002 on your computer.

Released on May 31, 2001, Outlook 2002 is component program in Microsoft Office XP. You can configure your Yahoo! email account with the email client program to send and receive emails. Outlook 2002 requires an email account that supports Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3). Since the free Yahoo! Mail account does not support this platform, you must have a Yahoo! Mail Plus account. Using an email client program, such as Outlook 2002, is helpful in maximizing your mailbox quota.
