How to add Yahoo Email POP?

[Sandra Poh]

Dear All,
I have installed Window Live Mail via MSN.
I would like to add Yahoo POP email account?
I tried using the below configuration which I can find in Yahoo Help.
But whenever I pressed the Sync button, it prompts me the below errors.
Pls help.

CONFIGURATION
===========
POP Yahoo! Mail with Another Email Client
=============================
Want to use another email program to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages?
If so, you'll be asked to designate a new incoming (POP3) mail server and a
new outgoing (SMTP) mail server.

Here are the basic server settings for Yahoo! Mail:

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com.sg
(Use SSL, port: 995)
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com.sg
(Use SSL, port: 465, use
authentication)
Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID
(your email address without the
"@yahoo.com")
Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address
(e.g., us...@yahoo.com)
Password:

ERROR MESSAGES
=============

Unable to send or receive messages for the Yahoo (sandrapoh) account.
Windows Live Mail couldn't log on to the e-mail server using authenticated
POP (APOP). Contact your e-mail provider and verify that it supports
authenticated POP. To change this logon setting, in the folder list,
right-click on the account name, and then click Properties on the shortcut
menu. In the Properties dialog, click the Servers tab and then under Incoming
Mail Server, select a logon option.

Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com.sg'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80004005
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes

Regards
Sandra

In Servers Tab, try changing to "Log in using clear text authentication".
Don't think you need Authenticated POP.

Also, see below. The dialogue boxes are a bit out of date but may help you
with your settings.

Not too sure about SSL settings in Advanced tab, I was told BT didn't
support it anyway, so don't know if Yahoo does either.

Sanda, do you have a paid Yahoo Plus! account? If so, then yes you can set
up POP mail. If you're using the free Yahoo Mail, then no, you cannot.

You didn't mention whether you did or not, so I'm just clarifying.

Here server is, 'pop.mail.yahoo.com.SG'. I don't know about Singapore, but
'pop.mail.yahoo.com.au', 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.jp', and 'pop.mail.yahoo.uk' are
all free. AFAIK, only 'pop.mail.yahoo.com' (U.S.), and, maybe, the Canadian
version, require a paid account.

Do not use, "APOP". I don't know that Yahoo! uses it anywhere.

Do use, "Log on using clear text authentication".

I use:

'smtp.mail.yahoo.co.jp:995' (w/SSL)
'smtp.att.yahoo.com:995' (w/SSL)
'smtp.mail.yahoo.com:995' (w/SSL)

I can use my ATTIS login for either of the last two. Port 995, SSL enabled,
and "Log on using clear text authentication" works for me.

I had this problem - and resolved it.

You can only do what you want if you have a premium yahoo account. I do not,
so
the yahoo alternative is easy...

1. Get yourself a windows live email address

2. Setup windows live mail, as per....

3. Goto your yahoo page, and modify your account so that it FORWARDS your
mail directly to your
super windows live mail.

It is easy to do, and most pleasing to see it actually works 100%.

Yahoo Pop3 capability for free accounts is varied. In some countries, Pop3 capability is available for free accounts, in other
countries(e.g. the U.S.) Pop3 capability, as you noted, requires a Yahoo Plus(Premium) account typically about $20/yr.

Won't work. If your free Yahoo account doesn't have POP access, it doesn't do forwarding either.

Simply download a small, free program called Freepops, install, follow
instructions, and your Yahoo mail will come to your inbox in WLM.

FreePOPs like YPOPS can be problematical, and of course, is not supported here.
