Problem with yahoo mail account

bocanila —Sat, 09/20/2008 - 06:37

Hi, i'm using Simple Mail for a couple of days now, but one tiny problem keeps bothering me: I have multiple mail accounts on gmail and yahoo mail. Simple Mail works great with the gmail accounts, but it won't display any mail from the yahoo accounts (not even the old messages). What should i do? All i did was: 1.installing Simple Mail to Firefox3 and, 2.setting up the accounts-just account name and password. I saw that Simple Mail completed automatically the POP/IMAP settings for all accounts.

Yahoo does not support POP/IMAP at this time. There are a number of programs, however, that can emulate POP3 for Yahoo Mail. One notable on is YPOPs.

Yahoo support pop account now (unless yahoo.fr)

pop.mail.yahoo.fr, 995, SSL
smtp.mail.yahoo.fr, 465, SSL

It works for me.

I can also retrieve Hotmail message :
pop3.live.com, 995, SSL

but I can't send because of a simplemail doesn't support TLS protocol
smtp.live.com, 587, TLS
