Hi, I installed Vista 32bit on a new PC and setup windows Mail with yahoo Pop3 account. The setup went fine but am just unable to send or receive any email. I don’t know what the problem is. Can you guys please check? My setup is as follows:

Incoming Mail Server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.com.au Use SSL, port: 995
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication denziljm@yahoo.com.au

And this is the error I keep getting every time:

Pop3, Server Response: '-ERR popgate unknown command' Prt 995, Secure (SSL): Yes Server
Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18 ail.

Somebody please help

Hello longevity, first of let me tell you that Yahoo wont provide you POP3 access. You need to get Yahoo Plus account by paying extra $20 for the same to get access of POP. The same thing stands for hotmail as well.

I upgraded my Yahoo to yahoo plus last year just to get it’s pop3 access. If yours is just a normal yahoo email, you wont get it done in Windows Mail or any email client instead of yahoo’s own web based one.
