Just got a new gateway computer and I am trying to set up windows mail to get
my yahoo mail and I can send e-mail but everytime I retrieve i get the same
error message...Message number 1 could not be retrieved. Account:
'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'localhost', Protocol: POP3, Server Response:
'-ERR message 1 could not be downloaded', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server
Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800420CD. I have windows live care one
security system if that matters. Please help this is killing me.

Thank you.

If you didn't enter 'localhost' as the POP server name, then I would suspect
Onecare.
I'm not familiar with it, but I'd try turning off the AV email check and
spyware check.

I do have localhost in the ingoing and oiutgoing server and YPOPS downloaded.
I have tried disbaling spyware and firewalls also.

Do you have Yahoo! Mail Plus?

Apparently that "localhost" thing is used with YPOPs.
We can't provide support for what may well be a YPOPs problem.

One thing you might try, go to http://mail.yahoo.com and log in to
your webmail. Delete the oldest message. It may be corrupted,
thereby preventing the newer messages from being downloaded.

I saw something about YPOPS being a violation of Yahoo's TOS. Maybe that's
the problem.

and still get all the same errors.
