"Yahoo! Deliveries" is basically an opt-in spam service. If you sign up for it, you give them permission to share your address with "carefully selected partners" (read: We sell your e-mail address to anyone willing to pay us for it) so they can "share special offers only available to members" (read: so they can bombard you with more junk mail than anyone could ever handle). > > The URL with the instructions is: > >http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-04.html. > > Now that I look at this site, I remember trying these directions from > within Evolution's client, and they didn't work, basically because > Evolution doesn't support whatever kind of authenticated smtp that > Yahoo inisist upon. It may not be the authentication method that is the problem, since it appears to be a standard username/password scheme. It may be that you aren't a Yahoo Delivers member, and that is the database that they authenticate against. C-Ya, Kenny -- --------------------------------------------------- Kenneth E.
