CodeTwo Outlook Autoconfig and Yahoo accounts

Problem:

You cannot autoconfig your Yahoo account in MS Outlook using CodeTwo Outlook Autoconfig.

Solution:

The CodeTwo Outlook Autoconfig free program helps to quickly configure your email account in Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail just by providing your email address (follow the link to learn more about it: https://www.codetwo.com/freeware/outlook-autoconfig/).

Unfortunately sometimes the program fails to configure the account when providing email address of the Yahoo mailbox. This problem is caused by the type of the Yahoo email account - only paid mailboxes (Yahoo PLUS accounts) are allowed to be used in Outlook. In other words - you cannot use MS Outlook to open your free Yahoo mailbox - thats why CodeTwo Outlook Autoconfig will also fail to automatically configure such account.
