remembering the password? By chance, did you enter it wrong and then
correct it later?

Have you tried removing the account and creating it all over again?

Any other mail programs setup and working? Is Port 110 actually open
thru the firewall? Have you checked the runlevel services and
mail-related services in there?

Almost certainly, this is a configuration problem.

Good luck with it--I know how aggravating it can get.

I was a customer of SBC Yahoo (now ATT Yahoo) until about two months ago.
I did not use my POP3 mailbox with them except to receive mail related to the
service and I used Fetchmail to retrieve it. I did not need to set up any
special authentication. The only problem I had was sending mail through
their server (they block outgoing port 25) from Postfix and it took some time
to figure out how to do that.

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.
