Re: just wondering

For Yahoo!, I'm pretty sure you will need to subscribe to one of their "premium" mail services in order to get POP3 (that is, non- web based) mail access. Other than that though, these links should give you the general idea of how to add new mail accounts (specifics will vary depending on the exact version of Outlook/OE that you use):

Re: just wondering

1. Are you sure that you got the right POP server name (and the correct user name) for the POP account in question? If you're trying to get mail from Yahoo as you said earlier, their support site says that you should be using the pop.mail.yahoo.com POP server. Check your settings carefully for spelling errors too.

2. When you say that you can't connect to the server, do you mean that you can't connect at all, or that you can connect but not authenticate?

3. What is the full and exact error that Outlook gives you when you tryo to connect?

4. Is this only a problem with the POP (incoming) mail server? That is, does sending messages via your SMTP (outgoing) mail server work correctly?
