Hi Chris, Yes, I uninstalled the Webmail and Yahoo extensions and rebooted. Then I installed the Webmail, rebooted, and installed the Yahoo.
With Localhost as the server name, I receive the error message, "Connection to server Localhost timed out". This message occurred with both "Never" and "TLS if available" as security settings. When server name is 127.0.0.1, I receive the message, "Failed to connect to server 127.0.0.1" Your staying with me is much appreciated. Here are my settings: Webmail 1.3.2 Servers show POP, SMTP and IMAP all running Ports are 110, 25 and 143 respectively All ports are enabled at startup Domains include yahoo.ca and yahoo.com Webmail Yahoo 1.4.4 Mode shows Production website POP shows Mark emails as read on server SMTP shows save copy in sent items, checked Advanced shows Use Short ID, checked Domains include yahoo.ca and yahoo.com The settings for [email protected] Account name [email protected] Your name William Klein E-mail address [email protected] Server settings Outgoing server (SMTP): Webmail - localhost Server type POP mail server Server name "Localhost" and "127.0.0.1" both failed User secure session "Never", "TLS if available" both failed Leave messages on server until I delete them Wen downloading POP3 mail from this server, use the following server for new mail: Inbox for this server's account Thanks, Bill Chris Clifton wrote: > You have both the generic webmail and the Yahoo webmail extensions > installed?
