Migration to Yahoo mail

Didn't take me long to enormously dislike yahoo mail which is loaded with ads.  Delete the ads then you get a popup to buy their ad free premium version.  Also, once migrated, I no longer get email in Outlook.  Downloaded a free email for my mobile.  No ads.  Now I need to figure out how to get my pc email working again.

... Now I need to figure out how to get my pc email working again.

If your PC is configured to use Comcast.net servers, you'll need to change them to use Yahoo servers. See:

When entering your email address or username, be sure to use your complete email address ending in "@comcast.net". 

It is a pity that Comcast/Xfinity hasn't bothered created a detailed walkthrough of the process.

Yep, I've done that after my initial upset.

Apparently they no longer care about email to even provide such instructions.

Make sure you log in to yahoo webmail to begin with.  You need to change your server settings in Outlook to the Yahoo! Mail servers.

You can find information on Yahoo's mail servers here:

Me too. 3 days working on this and no nearer solution. Surprised Microsoft has not gotten involved.

user_72duop To confirm, after changing your setting in Outlook to match what is needed for email that converted to Yahoo that @Again shared, you are still running into problems?
