It is a Bell South error. When they changed to Att some customers
still had bell south and some had att pop addresses. Their latest
update last night crunched things. Change your email settings to:
Pop server in = Pop.att.yahoo.com out= SMTP.att.yahoo.com Also
uncheck lon on using secure server if it was checked. On advanced
tab change in and out port numbers in= 995 out=465 Hope this
helps. Call them at 8883212375 if this doesn't fix it
Actually, both port 25 & 587 work equally as well.
$ telnet smtp.att.yahoo.com 25

Both are preferable over 465 which was never a standard and is
virtually unsupported. It is only kept on life support for users of
depreciated versions of Outlook. There is one caveat; port 25 may be
blocked by your ISP. If so, use 587 instead.
In addition, I was able to connect via port 110 for POP service;
however, port 995 failed. I am not sure why yet.
$ telnet pop.att.yahoo.com 110
