Outlook and POP setup for Yahoo : Help Needed !!

P

pk in Oz

I recently signed up for Yahoo Plus so I could use Outlook as the email
client. I followed all the steps to configure an email account to use
Yahoo. For the life of me, I cannot get the thing to work.

A bizzare thing happens in the screen where I'm prompted for user name,
email, etc. I check the box to "remember my password", type my password in
and it does *not* retain the password. When I try to do a send/receive, I
get prompted for the password. Even if I type it in correctly, I get send and
receive error messages.

I found a tip elsewhere on this site to generate a log file ... here's the
content of the file for one send/receive session.

Any help on what to do next is greatly appreciated.

Outlook version is 2003 (11.6568.6568) SP2.
