I just purchased Yahoo plus, so I could use the Mail function on my new MBP. Every time I try to set it up it can't connect to the plus.pop.mail.yahoo server. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance.

You'll need to configure the account as follows:

Incoming Mail Server (POP3): plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
Use SSL, port: 995
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication

Also, moved your thread over to the correct forum.

Thanks for the fast reply.
I can't figure out how to put those settings in. Could you walk me through it?
Thanks.

Mail menu => Preferences => Click Yahoo in the left pane => Fill out the Account Information tab appropriately and finish in the Advanced tab.
