What is the host name for yahoo mail when configuring Thunderbird mail?

I've managed to set up my incoming mail to receive my yahoo mail, but when I try to set up my outgoing server it asks for a host name and I do not know what this is.

Thanks in advance for any help!


If you want to use Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or other third party email clients to view your email you have 2 options.

Subscribe to mail plus:

or download and install YPOPS

then follow the directions for your version of outlook here,

If you have trouble with set up, check the YPOPS installation page for alternate set up instructions.

I currently utilize the most recent version of Thunderbird (2.0.0.4)

and version 0.8.3 of YPOPS (there is a more recent version of YPOPS if you are interested) and have no problems.
