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


As I recall, on my sbcglobal.net account, sending mail does not require
authentication (entering your correct password), only receiving mail requires
the correct password.

My pop and smtp settings are pop.sbcglobal.net and smtp.sbcglobal.net. I do
not know how old your account is; or, if you converted to yahoo when they
bugged everyone to convert to prodigy/yahoo.

However, I did not see any sbcglobal.yahoo.com sign in in the drop down menu
for the SBC site. All the options were the various perturbations
representing buyouts, mergers, and whims of management that scar the history
of the company; eg. pacbell.net, prodigy.net, sbcglobal.net, etc.

Hope this helps.

I wonder if the password is the problem. I know mine is definitely NOT the
same as my random yahoo.com email passwords.

Also, it might be that without doing the setup in windows (there was a
cdrom I got with my original DSL package, which included the modem, that
had a lot of yahoo crap on it), where, I think the email password is set,
then the account is not fully ready to be used. But not sure why sending
would work then...

Maybe setting up in windows is the only option at this point.

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,

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.
