I am having the exact same issue this morning with my Yahoo POP3 accounts on *Windows* SeaMonkey 2.47 and *Windows* Thunderbird 45.6.0. I do not have issues with IMAP accounts, nor do I have issues using *linux* 2.47 for the same POP3 accounts. Ran a log session (see: https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging ) and the following is the output for one of the accounts. Hopefully one of the SeaMonkey devs can decode & let us know what might be wrong: POP3[this=d3b71b0] LoadUrl() POP3[this=d3b71b0] Initialize() POP3[this=d3b71b0] Connecting to server pop.mail.yahoo.com 995 POP3[this=d3b71b0] Setting server busy in nsPop3Protocol LoadUrl() POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering NET_ProcessPop3 25 POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 1 POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 2 POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 4 POP3[this=d3b71b0] RECV +OK hello from jpop-0.1 POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 28 POP3[this=d3b71b0] SendCapa() POP3[this=d3b71b0] SEND CAPA POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering NET_ProcessPop3 126 POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 3 POP3[this=d3b71b0] RECV +OK CAPA list follows POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 29 POP3[this=d3b71b0] RECV IMPLEMENTATION jpop-0.1 POP3[this=d3b71b0] Capability entry processed POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 29 POP3[this=d3b71b0] RECV EXPIRE-NEVER POP3[this=d3b71b0] Capability entry processed POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 29 POP3[this=d3b71b0] RECV PIPELINING POP3[this=d3b71b0] Capability entry processed POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 29 POP3[this=d3b71b0] RECV RESP-CODES POP3[this=d3b71b0] Capability entry processed POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 29 POP3[this=d3b71b0] RECV TOP POP3[this=d3b71b0] Capability entry processed POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 29 POP3[this=d3b71b0] RECV UIDL POP3[this=d3b71b0] Capability entry processed POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 29 POP3[this=d3b71b0] RECV USER POP3[this=d3b71b0] Capability entry processed POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 29 POP3[this=d3b71b0] RECV SASL PLAIN XOAUTH2 POP3[this=d3b71b0] Capability entry processed POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 29 POP3[this=d3b71b0] RECV0 POP3[this=d3b71b0] Capability entry processed POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 30 POP3[this=d3b71b0] ProcessAuth() POP3[this=d3b71b0] POP auth server caps 0x21CAA pref 0x1C00 failed 0x0 avail caps 0x1C00 POP3[this=d3b71b0] (GSSAPI = 0x10 CRAM = 0x2000 APOP = 0x4000 NTLM = 0x8000MSN = 0x1 POP3[this=d3b71b0] trying auth method 0x1000 POP3[this=d3b71b0] POP username POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 5 POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 48 POP3[this=d3b71b0] SendUsername() POP3[this=d3b71b0] SEND AUTH PLAIN POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering NET_ProcessPop3 4 POP3[this=d3b71b0] Entering state 3

Each time SM opens and retrieves email for the one (1) account, the message: "Sending of password for user X did not succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded." That usually happens when the mail server rejects the login. Usually there would be a bit more after that, saying what the mail server's response was (some sort of failure message, e.g. incorrect username or password). If that's really all there is, it looks like the mail server is rejecting the login but not providing a message to say what the problem is - which confusingly makes the message appear to be a simple statement that the server did respond. I have no challenges on my Vista and XP machines. Be aware that Windows XP support ended a few years ago, so it has not been receiving updates since then and any security issues discovered with it will not be fixed. Windows Vista support ends on 11 April this year, after which it will not receive updates either. Any ideas or suggestions to consider? Check that you've entered the username and password correctly. You may have mistyped one or other. Usernames for email servers sometimes need to include the whole email address (including the part after the @), and sometimes only the part before the @ - so make sure you've got that right (compare with the machines which do work). Also make sure you've got the right settings for connection security and authentication method (again, you should be able to compare the settings with your other machines which do work). Mark Thank you for your reply and thoughts You are correct, there is a '+' (without quotes) which appears as the message, not sure how I missed it... Still doesn't give much clue about what the problem is though :( I have checked all settings against each machine and all appears to be good. Could it just be yahoo issue overall? Could be, although it's strange that it works from your other machines (presumably also using SeaMonkey 2.46?) If it is am issue at their end, it might suddenly start working in a day or two. If you've been trying from each machine in turn in quick succession (within a few minutes), it could be that Yahoo either limit how many times you can connect within a certain time or block logins coming from different machines in quick succession. I've also had at least one mail provider in the past where logging in via webmail blocked access to their POP server until several minutes after logging out of webmail. If you haven't already tried, maybe give it half an hour or so without attempting to check mail from any machine, and then try from the Windows 10 one. Are your Windows XP, Vista and 10 machines all connected to the same network, using the same Internet connection? Any differences in antivirus software between the machines? -- Mark. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
