Re: [kde-linux] kmail - receiving mail with sbcglobal yahoo

Hi Robert,

Here are my settings:
Receiving:
Account name: user
Login: user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Password: xxxxx
Host: pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
Port: 110
Extras:
Encryption: None
Authentication Method: Clear text

Sending:
Name: sbcglobal
Host: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
Port: 25
Server requires authentication: Yes
user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Password: xxxxx
Security:
Encryption: None
Authentication Method: Plain

The send side work great. But the receive doesn't work.

Regards,
Dan

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

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.
