Yahoo UK SMTP problem
Two of my e-mail addresses are with Yahoo! UK, which allows POP3 access. Until recently YUK has used plain transport and everything worked fine, but recently they changed to requiring SSL. Since then I've been able to *receive* mail, but not to send it. When I try to send I get this error: - Server reports error. The response is: 5.7.1 Authentication required - As far as I can see, I have the correct settings. YUK's Help file at http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD_MAIL_ML&locale=en_GB&id=SLN4724 gives: - Want to access Yahoo Mail from an email program like Outlook or Mac Mail? Here's the settings you'll need. Incoming Mail (POP) Server - Requires SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com Port: 995 Requires SSL: Yes Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS (Transport Layer Security) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com Port: 465 or 587 Requires SSL: Yes Requires authentication: Yes If your POP client doesn't offer TLS, you'll still be able to use SSL. Login info - Requires authentication Email address: Your full email address (n...@domain.com.) Password: Your account's password. - I substitute .co.uk for .com, but everything has worked OK until SSL. The settings I have, text-scraped from TB's screen, are: Transport SMTP Server smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk SMTP Connection Secure on dedicated port (TLS) SMTP Port 465 Incoming mail protocol Incoming mail serverpop.mail.yahoo.co.uk Connection to incoming mail server Secure on dedicated port (TLS) Incoming mail server port 995 Connection timeout 6000 sec Detail screenshots are at http://imgur.com/RfLCMJ5 , http://imgur.com/noH0ZAq , http://imgur.com/SNqRWlq These look OK to me. I couldn't get Ultrafunk Popcorn to work either, but the small, free, portable nPOP worked OK. So it isn't a problem with my PC. I read far more messages than I send, and probably haven't sent any for a while: it's possible this problem has only occurred since upgrading from TB 5.8.8 (I think) to v6. However, I can't be certain of that. My other accounts are Regular, so I can't cross-check with them. Any ideas, please? -- Thanks in anticipation, Robert Bull mailto:theb...@theluminousvoid.plus.com Using The Bat! v6.0.10 on Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I did do those things without the wanted result, but finally managed to get rid of that email. I looked in IMAP folder management and found that the tbb file was 55 kb, and found that size file in App Data. Deleted it, but kept it in Recycle Bin until I confirmed that I didn't delete the wrong file. That worked! Thanks for the suggestions.

That's a possibility but then I wouldn't be able to use bold, italics, underline, smileys etc. If I add those things to the message after it's completely composed in plain text and converted to HTML, I would lose the ability to reformat (if necessary) using ALT+L. It's bad enough that I have to religiously remember to make sure a message to this list gets changed back to plain text (from automatic HTML) just because I saved and then re-opened it for further editing. It's really not that important. I just thought I remembered a setting somewhere that allowed you to preset line length in HTML. Memory and me are but casual acquaintances so it's not surprising I would incorrectly recall something like that. But I really appreciate the help. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.

That seems to be true, I had never tried it before. I just did and it certainly works as you say. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
