In the middle area of the page, click "Add or edit an account" 4. When the "Mail Accounts" page opens, click "Add" 5. In the box, enter an account name for your reference and click "Continue" 6. You'll then see two boxes. In the first box put the name you'd like others to see 7. In the second box, type the email address you'd like to send from and click "Continue" 8. Enter in the POP server: server#.domainit.com (the server number varies depending on which server your account is on, and it was emailed to you when you purchased the service. If you do not know what server number you should use, please contact us.) 8. Type your user name, your full email address in all lower case (ie: you@yourdomain.com), and your password. 9.

At the bottom of the page, click "Verify Account" 7. A sign in page will open with your ID already filled in. Sign in with your password Note: Yahoo! Mail only retrieves messages from your external (POP) mail accounts when you request it. Do this by clicking the down-arrow on the "Check Mail" button in the upper-left of the page, and then clicking either "Check all accounts", or clicking the name of the other account's server.
