It's impossible for us to tell you what's wrong when you've posted no
configuration data. Did you visit Yahoo's help pages and read how to define
the account?

I have setup my Outlook 2002 to what this At&t support suggest. I use CA
security suite 2009, even turned it off.

That didn't get me anywhere that describes Outlok 2002 settings. It just
asked me for service type. Try this:

Make sure that you completely uninstall the CA security suite and reinstall
it without any email scanning feature. Make sure the firewall allows
Outlook to access the Internet.

I had the exact same problem - after 50 min on the phone with cust service,
the rep told me it is NOT mandatory to migrate your accounts to the yahoo
servers. I have a primary bellsouth account and 5 subaccounts. After hassling
and finally getting the primary & one sub account migrated, I am not doing
the rest and the rep assured me it would not be a problem. She did tell me,
however, that you have to click on the link to migrate and then when you get
to the TOS, do NOT accept the terms, but rather click on Reject. That will
leave it as before with no changes required to your Outlook.

On the accounts that you have already starting migrating which do not work
properly on Outlook, make sure that your email address is completely spelled
out rather than just the email name ([email protected]) not (name). That is
the problem I was having. Also, the instructions for the Outlook settings
have the port numbers in the reverse order that they show up on the account
properties. Once I got those two things fixed, things are woking fine. Good
luck. I feel your pain big time!
