qwest and msn

[mayaseattle]

hello

I have qwest dsl service and i want to set up my outlook express. but when i called them I was informed that IF i upgrade to qwest msn premium only then and only with an msn id can i access my outlook express and set it up

so basically i am held ransom to have only microsoft products

help-

is this true that i can set up my outlook express only with msn?
that i cant use my outlook express to access a yahoo id?

thanks everyone.

Use Trillian instead. It accesses AIM, Yahoo, and MSN.

trillian..ok..i can try that

maybe i should rephrase my question

how can i set up my yahoo account in outlook express

i have this link which says how..but when i follow it -there is some prob getting through since it keeps asking me for my passwrod and does not get through to yahoo server

do you think xp is playing some firewall tricks here?

..i am on cnet and it says..trillian is a chat client

i am supposing thats not the same as outlook express ?? (sorry i am not very tech savvy here

use mail.yahoo.com as the POP email address when you add it
