Are you subscribed to the Yahoo Plus service? If not, you won't be able to use pop3 mail access:

[nivrip]

For incoming mail I use pop.mail.yahoo.com

and for outgoing I use stmp.mail.yahoo.com


Give it a try.

 

[nivrip]

stmp.mail.yahoo.com

Oops, should have been smtp.mail.yahoo.com

 

[leonidataytay]

i did not know that i have to have a subscription to yahoo plus.
gmail free accounts support the pop.
can i use this email address in windows mail?

 

[nivrip]

i did not know that i have to have a subscription to yahoo plus.

I have been with Yahoo for a couple of years now. It has always been free and I don't know anything about Yahoo Plus - it must be something new. I use Outlook Express for emails and use the settings as described before.

may you help me with the vista windows mail settings ,the account name, server information-outgoing and incoming server type and names, the incoming and outgoing server port nos.

may you help me with the vista windows mail settings ,the account name, server information-outgoing and incoming server type and names, the incoming and outgoing server port nos.

Let's try to begin with the basics.

Which mail programme are you using? Outlook, Outlook Express or some other?

Are you signed up with Yahoo and do you have an email address?

 

[Temmu]

after nivrip, et al, gets their info, here's this:

[leonidataytay]

we are using vista home basic, i have yahoo e-mail address

 

[Temmu]

i mean, y pop is a program that allows ppl to pop their yahoo account...

 

[leonidataytay]

what is ppl

 

[nivrip]

we are using vista home basic, i have yahoo e-mail address

Ahhhh !! Vista is not something I know a lot about still being on XP.
Anyway have you checked in Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs. What is the setting in Email ?

By the way I think ppl means people.

 

[leonidataytay]

in the advanced setting, the correct entry for pop and smtp server port nos. are required

 

[Temmu]

SMTP is port 25 - unless the provider specifies otherwise.
POP3 is port 110 - ditto

others:
IMAP - port 143
Secure SMTP (SSMTP) - port 465
Secure IMAP (IMAP4-SSL) - port 585
IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS) - port 993
Secure POP3 (SSL-POP) - port 995

where?

there is a problem on log on, windows security is not accepting my username and password

 

[nivrip]

not accepting my username and password

I had a similar problem once. I deleted the username and password and then retyped them. Then it worked ??!!??
