That's exactly what I was trying to help him to do.  However, I don't have a 
yahoo login, so couldn't check the settings.  He said that he knew the pop 
address and smtp address, including ports, and I took his work for that, but 
he didn't know anything about authentication settings, and they are hardest to 
guess.
