I have a new laptop running Windows 8.1

I cannot set up my BT Yahoo emails to 'send and receive' in Outlook. Outlook would be my preferred means of using an email account.

I have carefully followed the instructions on the Outlook setting up a receive and send account many times, but keep getting the error message that Outlook cannot connect to the internet. I have tried with the internet open and also BTYahoo open with no luck.

Can someone please give me some simple instruction on how to set up this Outlook account to send and receive emails from my BTinternet.com email account

Thanks

Pete
