Yahoo Mail Auhetication failed Entourage

[claire_suaumarcus]

Hi,

I'm having a nightmare getting Entourage connected to my yahoo mail
acount.

The message I get is:
Authentication failed because Entourage doesn't support any of the
available authentication methods.

I've entered:
accountid claire_suaumarus
pop server: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Password: XXXXXXX
Checked - this POP serice requires a secire connection (SSL)
Checked: Overide default POP port: 995
Checked Always use seure password

SMPT server: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Checked SMTP servie requires secure connection (SSL)
Checked override default SMTP port 465
Checked server requires authentication
Account id claire_suaumarus
Password XXXXXX
Save password is checked


Ive heard people mention in previous threads that you need the latest
copy of Entourage but my mac is less than 1 month old and if i check
for updates is says no are available.

I've also seen people mention you have to upgrade your yahoo account
but loking into my account option it shows POP3 is there so I don't
think this is the case

Look under Entourage in the menu bar, it should be showing 11.3.6. Microsoft
does not update each application every time an update is released. See
³Confused over Microsoft Update Version numbers?³

I've also seen people mention you have to upgrade your yahoo account
but loking into my account option it shows POP3 is there so I don't
think this is the case.

It has to be a paid account. See this page for the info we have on setting
up Yahoo accounts.

up his account under the new security settings.
