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 server pop.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
