Hi Robert,

I did specify user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx At least I know somebody has got it work.
I called tech support, but if your not using Outlook they will not help you. Looks
like I'll have to try this on a windows system.

Thanks,
Dan

Greetings,

I setup a new installation for a friend today using DSL sbcglobal.yahoo.com
I have no trouble sending email through the SMTP server at sbcglobal.yahoo.com
however I can not receive email. It keeps saying the username/password is
invalid which seems strange because I send email. Is there anybody that has
configured DSL pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com and got it to work? BTW: There are
two email accounts which give different errors, the main account says "Server
is busy try again later", the other account says username/password is invalid.

Regards,
Dan

user name is the full email address for both the pop and smtp servers: user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I've used kmail, evolution and (currently) Thunderbird with no problem...

how do you have the servers configured? Here's mine (Thunderbird):
pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com port 110 use secure connection: 'no' checked
smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com port 25 use secure connection: 'no' checked

I just set up kmail with the above settings (no choice on ports though), and after a little while at the "checking security capabilities of sbcglobal.net" window, I was able to just start downloading my mail.

I tried to send a test message to myself, and had to modify the account settings and add my user name and password, then all went well.
