Why won't Outlook.com accept pop.bizmail.yahoo.com?

Hey guys.. i have had some sketchy success with this issue.. maybe just a workaround but i might be on to something.. in bizmail.. when all the company email addresses are created, they do not have a yahoo id attached with them.. yahoo won't let you login with those credentials online to check your email.. you have to go thru a third party program.. outlook express, live, etc..  but it seems the new outlook is different, i believe it is logging in differently than the previous programs as far as yahoo is concerned.. so what i have done to get it to work is create a yahoo id.. mail account, then add your biz email in there for it to check.. confirm it.. check it.. etc.. now go back into outlook and do the same thing as before.. use ssl checked and port 995 and ive got it to work on two accounts.. oddities though, if once its on outlook and i try to edit that email acct, it fails on pw and user as usual, but it is still checking email... every thirty minutes.. ugggg..

hope this helps,

Brian

The lack of support from Microsoft is indeed sad...

This is getting tedious. Despite everyone raising the same complaint it seems hardly anyone with either a plus or business yahoo account can get it working with Outlook.com despite Outlook as a stand alone program or even Windows 8 mail working with the accounts. Does anyone really know how to resolve this?

Hello.. i'm having the same issue.. mail forwarding is not used on my business account.. We have been using microsoft live mail for years now and I setup an outlook account and am trying to migrate all my info in.. everything works fine, but during the connection to pop.bizmail.com.. it tells me to check my ID and pw.. i've tried everything i can think of with no luck.. microsoft live mail still works fine checking it.. any ideas?

thanks,

Brian
