Yahoo IMAP Settings for Outlook 2010 on Windows 7

Hi Guys,

I have been trying to get IMAP for Yahoo for Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 to work for a while now.  I was just wondering if someone out there has gotten it to work.

Settings are Manually Configured.

Settings:
Account Type:  IMAP
Incoming mail server:  imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail server:  smtp.mail.yahoo.com
"Save My Password" Checkbox:  Checked


Internet E-mail Settings #1:
Incoming server (IMAP):  143
Encryption Level:  none
Outgoing server (SMTP):  465
Encryption Level:  SSL
Server Timeout:  1 minute
Result:  Continuous prompt for Username and Password when testing account settings until it fails to connect.  However SMTP test email is sent.
  So the only issue seems to be incoming.

Internet E-mail Settings #2:
Incoming server (IMAP):  993
Encryption Level:  SSL
Outgoing server (IMAP):  465
Encryption Level:  SSL
Server Timeout:  1 minute
Result:  Error result is as follows "Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP):  a secure connection to the server cannot be established."  However SMTP test email is sent.  So the only issue seems to be incoming.


I tried IMAP with gmail on 2 computers with the same environment (1 x 64bit and 1 x 32bit Windows 7 w Outlook 2010) and it seems to be fine so I dont believe it is any router/firewall issues.  I have a Windows Mobile phone and it is working also.  Of course most of the settings on the phone are configured automatically.  If anyone could provide any suggestions, that would be great.  Thanks in advance.
