Hello, ''Wanda'' sorry, for your problem. If you're able to receive but unable to send mail using your POP mail client (such as Outlook), please review the possible troubleareas below. SMTP Server In the fight against unsolicited commercial email (spam), some Internet service providers require their subscribers to send mail through the ISP's own SMTP servers. If you experience problems sending email, please contact your ISP to determine if it requires different SMTP server settings. Youwill need to use the ISP's SMTP server in place of Yahoo!'s SMTP server when configuring your POP mail client. The following is a partial list of ISPs that require you to use their SMTP servers. If your ISP is among them, try replacing the Yahoo! SMTP server with the ISP server in your POP mail client settings, or consult the ISP's help files. If your ISP does not appear in the list below, please contact your ISP directly for more information. Thanks

Good Day Pcogs!

I am sorry you are experiencing this problem. I must say that this is a Yahoo Mail Server problem.
The information you send to Yahoo Mail Server, like the password that you enter when you log in to Yahoo Mail, encountered a problem and failed to reach their database.

This problem will be fixed soon by the Yahoo itself. But, takes usually a few days or a week.

The fastest fix for this problem is to change your password.

To change your password, you must log in first to your Yahoo Mail account then go to https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?.done=https%3A%2F%2Fedit.yahoo.com%2Fconfig%2Fchange_pw%3F.scrumb%3D0%26.done%3D


When your problem is fix, please comeback later to give this answer a four thumbs up rate.

Hi,

If you are not connected to the internet, you can only work offline, and for example, if you write an email it will not send until you do connect to the internet.

You can configure Outlook 2007 to work with Yahoo.

If you want to "POP" your Yahoo! Mail into your Outlook 2007 application, here's how:

1. From the Tools menu, select "Account Settings." If you do not see "Account Settings," place your cursor over the two arrows at the bottom of the list to display more choices.
2. On the Email tab, click New.
3. Check the box next to the first option, "Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP" and click Next.
4. In the Your Name box, type your name as you'd like it to appear when you send a message.
5. In the Email Address box, enter your Yahoo! Mail address (for example, "[email protected]").
6. Check the box for "Manually configure server settings or additional server types" and click Next.
7. Check the box next to the first option "Internet E-mail" and click Next.
8. In the Server Information area, under "Account Type" select POP 3 from the pull-down menu.
9. In the Incoming mail server field, enter: pop.mail.yahoo.com.sg
10. In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) field, enter: smtp.mail.yahoo.com.sg
11. In the Login Information area, in the User Name field, enter your Yahoo! ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com").
12. In the Password box, enter your Yahoo! Mail password.
13. Check "Remember Password" if you don't want Outlook to prompt you for your password each time you check your mail. Handy!
14. Do not check the box labeled "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)."
15. Click on the More Settings button.
16. Click on the Outgoing Server tab and check the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication."
17. Click on the Advanced tab.
18. Under "Incoming Server (POP3)", check the box next to "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)". The port number in the "Incoming Server (POP3)" field should automatically change from 110 to 995. If it doesn't, make sure the port number is set to 995.
19. Under "Outgoing Server (SMTP)", check the box next to "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)". Enter port number "465" in the "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" field.
20. If you'd like to keep a copy of your email messages on the Yahoo! Mail server, check the box next to "Leave a copy of messages on the server." If you want to delete your messages from the Yahoo! Mail server after viewing them in Outlook, don't check the box.
21. Click the OK button.
22. Click the Next button on the Email Account Wizard, then click Finished.
23. Would you like your Yahoo! Mail inbox to be your primary inbox in Outlook 7? If so, click the Tools menu and select "Account Settings." If you don't see "Account Settings," place your cursor over the two arrows at the bottom of the list to display more choices.
24. From the list, select the pop.yahoo account you've just added and click the Set as Default button.
25. Click the Close button. You're done!

Troubleshooting instructions
If you followed the above configuration steps, you should be all set. However, if you cannot send or receive mail with your email client, try the following tips.
The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server requires authentication. Make sure you have enabled SMTP authentication. To turn this setting on, follow these steps:

1. From the Tools menu, choose "Account Settings."
2. Select the "E-mail" tab.
3. Select your Yahoo! Mail account and click Change.
4. Click on the "Outgoing Server" tab.
5. Check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication."
6. Please make sure that "Log on using" is not checked.
7. Click OK.

To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail server:

1. From the Tools menu, select "Account Settings."
2. Click on the "Email" tab.
3. Select your Yahoo! Mail account and click Change.
4. Click on the "Advanced" tab.
5. Check "Leave a copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on the Yahoo! Mail server as well as on your local computer. Please note that setting your email client to remove messages from the server will cause your messages to be deleted from the server. Once the messages are deleted, we are unable to retrieve them.
6. Click OK.
7. Close Microsoft Outlook and restart.

We strongly recommend that you enable SSL for both POP and SMTP, as detailed in the above instructions. This will ensure that your Yahoo! ID, password and email messages are transmitted securely between your mail client and the Yahoo! servers. However, if you choose to not use SSL for SMTP, your email client will likely default the SMTP port to 25. If your ISP blocks port 25 or if you're unable to send email, then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change, please follow the directions below:

1. From the "Tools" menu, select "Account Settings"
2. Select your Yahoo! POP account and click on Change.
3. Click on the "Advanced" tab.
4. Click OK and Close.

But if you want to get around the Nokia Messaging then here is what to do:

 

Go to Mail on your phone  - Options - Settings -  scroll down to email - Options - New Mailbox

 

Click - start and then NO to allow connections (that stops Nokia Messaging swinging into control)

 

Now enter your hotmail address except do not put @hotmail.com at the end.  Put @abc.com

 

e..g. if you email is *****@yahoo.com then enter mailto:*****@abc.com

 

This is very important because if fools the phone into thinking this is a non hotmail email account. If you do not use this by pass, then when the operating system detects you are doing a hotmail, it simply tell you that it has made you a nice new bookmark for the hotmail web page.

 

Now enter your password - press OK

 

Now enter your correct hotmail address - e.g. *****@yahoo.com - press OK (this time you can use the yahoo)

 

Now you will get an error message saying unable to define settings and it will allow you to manually set the POP3 or IMAP. yahoo is of course POP3 so choose that.

 

OK - to the wizard intro

 

Mailbox POP3

 

Incoming mail server - pop3.live.com

Security - SSL/TLS - very important

 

Outgoing mail server  - smtp.live.com

Security  - Start TLS ----> THIS IS THE NEW SETTING THAT HAS RECENTLY CHANGED. BEFORE SSL/TLS WAS FINE BUT NOW THE MICROSOFT SERVER IS REJECTING SSL/TLS EMAIL WITH AN ERROR 530 MESSAGE/START WITH TLS.

 

SO PLEASE ENSURE THIS OUTMAIL SECURITY IS CORRECT - START TLS.

 

If you yahoo was working fine but suddenly it stopped working for outbound emails, then this is the setting you now need change.

 

Port Number - 25 (which is the default)

 

Some users have reported that it only works if you use Port 587 for outbound. This depends on whether or not not ISP is port blocking or not. I suggest you try 25 and if you still cannot send emails via hotmail, then change to 587.

 

The wizard should now complete the setup and in the list you should now see the new email but now it needs editing further so click options - settings (on the new email you have just added).

 

- Connection settings

 

- Incoming e-mail

 

- change the user name to the hotmail one i.e. change  *****@abc.com to *****@yahoo.com

 

leave password correct

 

leave incoming mail server pop3.live.com

 

access point - whatever is your default - I set to always ask

 

mailbox name - change this to *****@yahoo.com i.e. your yahoo address

 

leave mailbox type as pop3

 

leave security ports SSL/TLS - this is still okay for incoming mail

 

leave port - default

 

leave APOP as OFF

 

now back to OUTGOING MAIL SERVER

 

change my email address to your correct hotmail one i.e. ****@yahoo.com

 

change user name to your correct hotmail one i.e. *****@yahoo.com

 

leave password - it should be same as for incoming mail

 

leave outgoing mail server smtp.live.com

 

access point as you wish - mine is always ask

 

security ports should be StartTLS

 

Port - make sure it is 25 or 587 as above.

 

And there you go...it should work now.

Hi,

You will need adjust the mail application's POP settings to get your Yahoo! Mail messages into it.

POP access is a service for owners of one of the following:

Yahoo! Mail Pop Access & Forwarding
Yahoo! Mail Plus Premium Services
A Broadband account
A Small Business account

Please note that access to IMAP servers is not available.

To use an email client or application to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages, you may need to designate a new incoming (POP) mail server and a new outgoing (SMTP) mail server. Consult your owner's manual for instructions on designating servers in the email application.

If you can't add new POP or SMTP servers, you will need to change your current server settings.

Before you make any changes, write down your current settings. You might need to revert to your original settings later if you decide to send and receive messages from your other email addresses.

The following steps will help you find the POP settings for your Yahoo! Mail account and configure it:

Log onto your Yahoo! Mail account from a PC.
Click Options > Mail Options.
Click POP & Forwarding.
Click Set up or edit POP & Forwarding.
Click POP Settings.

Note your Server Setting information. Your phone email client or application will ask for these settings:

Incoming Mail Server (POP3)- for example, pop.mail.yahoo.com.
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)- for example, smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
Account Name/Username, your Yahoo! Member ID- for example, myuserID.
Email address, your Yahoo! Mail address- for example, [email protected].
Password, your Yahoo! Mail password- for example, l0ngitudin*l

Notes:

POP server settings may change from time to time and you should confirm the current POP server settings in Yahoo! Mail if it is not working.

When using Microsoft Outlook, replace the "@" in your address with "%".

As an alternative to configuring Yahoo! Mail POP mail configurations, go to:

Enter your phone number and send a link to your phone; the best Yahoo! Mail experience will be suggested to you. Have a nice day
