How do I configure MS Outlook to receive my yahoo mail?
What is the incoming/outgoing server name?

I do not believe this is possible.

If anyone calls and says "I know a little something about computers" just tell them to reformat it.

Hello Destinysdream

I believe there is no such thing as 'not possible'!!
Just found the answer on Google

How to Configure a POP3 E-mail Client
The following are the basic server settings for Yahoo! Mail:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail name (your address without the "@yahoo.com")
E-mail address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (i.e. user@yahoo.com)
Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password

It looks like you will have to change server settings on you Yahoo server. I do not believe they will let you.

If anyone calls and says "I know a little something about computers" just tell them to reformat it.

Actually myrzo is correct. I was able to do this a long time ago - using outlook to access my yahoo mail. However, I don't think yahoo allows it anymore or it's an additional option that you have to pay for. Check Yahoo!'s forums or something.

You now are supposed to be using yahoo's pay service to access mail directly with a regular mail client. (But you can use YPops, formerly called yahoopops).
