Yahoo Mail Plus POP3 Account Settings - ERRORS

[Joni4TA]

I have Mail Plus (paid Yahoo access)
------------------------------------------------

On this Yahoo site:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html

They say to use the following settings:


Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use
authentication)
Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the
"@yahoo.com")
Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., (e-mail address removed))
Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password

If you can't add new POP or SMTP servers, you'll need to change your current
server settings to access your Yahoo! Mail Plus account. Write down your
current settings first—you might need to revert to them later if you decide
to send and receive messages from your other email addresses.

Your email program will give you the option of either deleting your Yahoo!
messages from the Yahoo! server after downloading them, or leaving them on
the Yahoo! server so you can see them online in your Yahoo! account, too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------


When I use the settings indicated, I get the following two error messages
when trying to do a send/receive or test message:


*Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): Outlook cannot connect to your
incoming email (POP3) server. If you continue to receive this message,
contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

*Send test email message: None of the authentication methods supported by
this client are supported by your server

Are there any error codes associated with those error messages?

There are no codes, no.

As far as sending your messages goes -- your ISP may not allow you to "relay"
outgoing mail from other providers through their servers, so authentication
won't help. You can ask them if they allow it or not. If not you can set
the SMTP server settings to your ISP's settings instead of Yahoo's.

Still looking into the POP issue...are you using a US-based Yahoo Mail Plus
account? Also, you didn't mention your Outlook version.
