I know you have landed up here looking for a solution, how to configure outlook for ypops or How to download yahoomails to your outlook. This is exclusively for free yahoo mail account.Lets see in detail.
YPOPs! is a free open source software that provides POP3 and SMTP access to Yahoo! Mail. You can use your favorite email client, be it Outlook,Thunderbird, or whatever else you like and connect to Yahoo! Mail seamlessly.
Step 1:
Download Ypops 0.9.7.3. Use sourceforge and install with default options.
Step 2:
Before configuring ypops and outlook, check for yahoo mail port for your computer(ISP)
Click Start -> Run -> Type cmd -> Type c: \ -> Enter -> Type telnet smtp.mail.yahoo.com 465
I checked for port 465, usually default port is 25. See which port works for you.
"If you cannot contact a mail server on port 25, then you can also try port 465 or port 587. A quick way to check if these ports are open on your connections' firewall is to use telnet from the command line. Select, 'Start', 'Run', and type 'cmd'. This will open a command line window. Now type 'telnet smtp.isp.com 465' where smtp.isp.com is your mail server and 465 is the port. Yahoo! accepts outgoing mail connections on port 465 (SSL) so we'll use it as an example."
If the port works for you, you should get a screen like shown below.
