cannot receive mail

[Jutta Wallace]

Hello,

I wonder if you can help. Although I have done all by text book I am still
unable to receive messages. I get the following message:

The host 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk' could not be found. Please verify that you
have entered the server name correctly.
Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Protocol:
POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number:
0x800CCC0D

Any idea what is wrong?


many thanks,

Jutta

Take a look at the instructions here... they are for OE, but should still
help..

Looks like you need to check the box for "Log on using secure password
authentication", under servers.
