Yahoo! Mail is the free online email service provided by Yahoo! and supported by advertising. You don't necessarily have to use the Yahoo! web interface to send Yahoo! Mail. You can use Yahoo! Mail SMTP server settings from within Microsoft Outlook or other email applications that run on the computer to send Yahoo! Mail. However, to receive Yahoo! Mail through Outlook, you need to upgrade your Yahoo! Mail to MailPlus.
