That supposition also has nothing to do with the issue. The server names
as stated are correct:
pop.att.yahoo.com
smtp.att.yahoo.com

Norm, you get 100 points for dogged persistence :)

Is that supposed to be secure SSL setting? I don't know but that may
have been the original problem. (Evidently no use trying to ask the
question of anyone else here, apparently the "Yahoos" can't read.


ping pop.att.yahoo.com

Yes, it is supposed to be ssl.
These instructions, if followed, should eliminate any question of
settings being screwed up.
From the att tutorial for oe (applicable to windows mail):

To locate and verify your email settings in Outlook Express:
1. - 5. snipped
6. Verify these settings:
* For "My incoming mail server is a ____ server," the field contains POP3.
* The Incoming mail (POP3) and Outgoing mail (SMTP) fields contain the
correct mail server settings. (which are indeed pop.att.yahoo.com and
smtp.att.yahoo.com)
* The Account name field contains your full AT&T Yahoo! email address
(e.g., YourName@att.net). (or whatever your legacy domain might be)
* The box next to Log on using Secure Password Authentication is NOT
checked.
* The My server requires authentication box is checked.
7. Click on the Advanced tab.
8. Verify these settings:
Note: When updating the secure sever settings, check SSL checkbox first,
then update the port number setting.
* Under Outgoing mail (SMTP) should be port 465 and the box next to This
server requires a secure connection (SSL) is checked.
* Under Incoming mail (POP3) should be port 995 and the box next to
This server requires a secure connection (SSL) is checked.

My guess would be that secure password is checked and nobody has noticed
it, or else the user has used "Name" instead of Name@whatever". Oh well :)

i supposed you can do it now ;)

yahoo works perfect with windows mail

pop3 /// pop.mail.yahoo.com
smtp /// smtp.mail yahoo.com
name and password

i didn't use ssl just normal settings

and activate by yahoo pop3 ( if you can ) to test your name and
password go to yahoo and log in and remember it
