subject: 3 Important Reasons You Should Configure Outlook for Yahoo Mail Access [print this page] If you use both Yahoo Mail and Outlook, there are three major reasons you should configure Outlook for Yahoo Mail access. First, you will save yourself time every time you need to check your mail. Second, you will be able to apply Outlook's sophisticate message handling features to your Yahoo mail. Third, it lets you feed your Yahoo mail contents into Outlook's Personal Information Management (PIM) tools.
A Yahoo Outlook connection lets you check your Yahoo mail right in Outlook, instead of forcing you to open a browser window and work with your mail in two separate places. That's one less chore for you to do, and one less chance for problems like missing something important because you didn't feel like checking your Yahoo mail at the wrong time.
When you configure Outlook for Yahoo mail, you have access to Outlook's mail handling tools, powerful tools like folders and flags and mailing lists. That's because your Yahoo mail appears in the Outlook Inbox as if it was any other Outlook messages. You can take all those techniques you've learned for handling your messages in Outlook and apply them to your Yahoo messages too.
Configuring Outlook for Yahoo also makes it easy to use Outlook's Calendar, Tasks, Notes and all its other Personal Information Management systems with your Yahoo Mail. Any personal information management techniques you use with your regular Outlook mail, you can use with your Yahoo mail, once you configure Outlook for Yahoo messages and those messages are coming into your Outlook Inbox.
As this article has shown, you can reap some significant benefits by configuring Outlook to work with your Yahoo account. With the quality instructions I've linked to below, it takes only minutes. I urge you to set up this connection immediately.
