Hello all,
I Am having challenges with retrieving email from only one (1) yahoo
account.
I Am using SM 2.46 on a W10 machine.
Each time SM opens and retrieves email for the one (1) account, the
message:
"Sending of password for user XXXXX 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).

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...
I have checked all settings against each machine and all appears to be
good.
Could it just be yahoo issue overall?
TIA - bo1953
