att.yahoo on windows mail e-mail client

[Jeff Eilders]

I was using bellsouth.net to get my e-mail and they "upgraded" my to
att.yahoo. I put in all the setting they said to put in and I am still
getting the following error message when I try to access my mail through
windows mail:

Account: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR popgate unknown command', Port: 995, Secure(SSL):
Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18

Thanks for any help

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and it may be causing the error (assuming the
account's correctly configured in Windows Mail).

Go to Tools, Accounts, select that mail account, Properties, Servers.
Uncheck the box for "Log on using Secure Password Authentication."

Do you get an error message? If so, right-click on your error message,
copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

We will be able to evaluate the applicability of that fix once we
see your complete error message.

That's not good enough. I need to see the complete, verbatim error message.

Note: It is customary here to quote the message one is replying to.
