Because my ISP supplied POP3 e-mail account has a very small limit
(500KBytes) before I start getting charged 'over-mail-limit' fees, I
set myself up a freebie Yahoo e-mail account and, I thought, I'd be
able to then open my SM Mail & News screen, set up an e-mail account
to download the e-mails from my Yahoo account. I think I set it up as
a POP3 account and when it didn't download the e-mails from Yahoo, I
figured it was probable because of some limitation that Yahoo put on
the Freebie accounts.
(Note: I cannot actually check this now because, about 18 mths ago, I
accidentally deleted my SM Profile), however ....
It just occurred to me ... is it possible that I was not able to
download from Yahoo because I was trying to download using a POP3
account?? Might it work if I set up my SM (Yahoo) e-mail account as an
IMAP account??
Or is my problem the *freebie* Yahoo e-mail account protocol??
TIA
O.K., so if POP3 should work .... I've stuffed something up!! I might
try setting up a new POP3 account on my SM M&N just to check!!
Or I could go straight for an IMAP account!!
Decisions!! Decisions!! ;-P
Hi,
Here are my settings for a POP / Smtp Yahoo account:
Server Type: POP Mail Server
Server Name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 995 (Default port)
User Name: everything in email address name before "@yahoo.com"
Security and Authentication:
Connection security: SSL/TLS
Authentication method: Normal password
SMPT Settings:
Server Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465 (Default port)
Security and Authentication:
Connection security: SSL/TLS
Authentication method: Normal password
User Name: your yahoo email address,in full
This works for me in both Thunderbird and SeaMonkey
Cheers,
Peter
