Problems receiving e-mail

[gracenote]

I am just recovering from a major problem.

I have two main e-mail accounts. The primary receives messages but for
some reason receives them within Yahoo broadband ( not in bulk folder)
and does not export them to my Outlook program.

My other e-mail address receive messages that are also viewed on Yahoo
but not received on my regular e-mail.
I am not talking about messages in the 'bulk' folder on Yahoo, this
stuff should get to my Main 'outlook' prog.
I have checked all my settings via tools/e-mail accounts but cannot
see that the settings are different



I just cannot see the wood for the trees and would appreciate help.

Would this be BT Internet Yahoo! service?

By "export", what do you mean? I have Internet service from SBC Yahoo! DSL
Service. All email is delivered to mailboxes at pop.pacbell.yahoo.com. I
have on primary account and handful of secondary accounts. Email to one
user sits in the Yahoo! mailbox until it is picked up by a POP3 fetch.
Email to the other user is forwarded from the Yahoo! mailbox to a local
email server. Fowarding is just that, and automatic. I do nothing, the
email just shows up locally. POP3 fetch requires that a mail client be
configured to access the POP3 server and download the email. If the client
is failing to do that, the email just sits in the POP3 server; which, as
you can see, is accessible from the web (http://mail.yahoo.com works for
me).

The settings to do each are at the web mail site (for those not aware of
it, SBC Yahoo! users have the equivalent of Yahoo! Mail Plus accounts
provided as a part of their SBC Internet service; presumably similar for
Rogers Yahoo!, BT Internet Yahoo!, and Softbank BB Yahoo!).

Assuming you mean that your email client (MS Outlook 2002?) isn't fetching
the email from the POP3 server, you will need to check the client settings
yet again.

You are right my machine is not fething the messages from Yahoo.

I have a home network(Wireless). The second machine, not the primary
machine, can and does receive the messages.

My home (primary machine will not). I have sent several test messages
none have come back to my machine, they are recieved by Yahoo.

The settings between the two machines appear to be identical, although
I have said, I am not seeing straight due to other complications now
sorted. A bad seeting may be tehre and I cannot see it. I have just
double checkes and nothing wrong is apparent.

Assuming that BT Internet Yahoo! is providing true sub accounts, the two
computers must not be completely identical in the client setup. Each sub
account should use its own username and login for the client setup. In my
case, running a POP3 distributing client to pull email from several sub
accounts, each account is accessed by a separate login.

<[email protected]>+password.one
<[email protected]>+password.two
<[email protected]>+password.three

....and so forth. A separate call to pop.pacbell.yahoo.com for each sub
account.
