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



Hi Robert,

I used a windows computer to install sbcglobal.yahoo.com. As soon
as the installation was complete I switched to the Linux computer.
I installed Outlook on a Windows computer which is what they said they
needed to troubleshoot the problem. I spent 3 hours with tech support with
two different people and we deleted the account, created the account over
and over and over and over again. They were finally saying it was computer,
it was because I had an older version of Outlook, etc. I completed
reinstalled sbcglobal.yahoo and I still couldn't receive email. I finally
gave up opened two gmail accounts which are pop capable. Configured
them in Kmail and everything is working fine.

Thanks for your help,
Dan

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

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.
