I am also running with this one closest issue but having some really big stuck. It is pop in the uk, I don't require 'plus' and my some other yahoo (a .co.uk) works very well with my email client - yahoo have published that the pop configurations to use for 'ymail.com' in the UK, they just don't work!! If you have not worked upon this before and got such type of difficulties then please suggest me some effective solution .....???
Re: Problem to add ymail/yahoo account in Thunderbird
In order to work with a different email program, like Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, or Thunderbird, if you are running with Yahoo Mail then you require POP3. This is free in the UK but in the US you should pay me for Yahoo Mail Plus. This is also needed when you try to transfer the mail with the help of smtp or pop3 to different online email. When you do that then you can configure the servers suggested as follow:
Quote:
Incoming (pop3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (UK pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk)
Outgoing (smtp) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (UK smpt.mail.yahoo.co.uk)
Re: Problem to add ymail/yahoo account in Thunderbird
I didn't used Outlook Express before and quite frankly never got the concept within this .. I am an MSN user but got rid of the MSN Internet Explorer browser a long time before. I have checked the Email through my Firefox browser.
I have downloaded the TB and would need to use this but everytime and I try to configure it up, I just don't get the procedures stated by the MozillaZine forum and I tagged a question over a week before but never find an answer..My primary mail for years has been yahoo and I need to be able to pull the Yahoo and MSN email to TB.. Can someone here help me to get a good grip on configuring it up ?
Re: Problem to add ymail/yahoo account in Thunderbird
You need to open the Thunderbird and move to the Tools menu => acount settings. Once the windows would be open , Click on the Add Account button and follow the suggested steps.
The name of the account could be: Yahoo Mail and the SERVER SETTINGS would be as follows :
Server name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Port 110 (default)
Check gor new messages at startup YES
Check for new messages every (?)minutes YES
Automatically download new messages: YES
That is commonly what you should do. Also you have to be available with an Outgoing server (SMTP) that is also configurable from the Account settings window.
