Yahoo Mail problem

[Donnation]

I've loaded my pop3 settings into the email setup, but for some reason when it tries to connect to yahoomail it says "Host not found."

Here are the settings I am using:

Incoming server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 995
Use SSL

Outgoing server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Use SSL

Is anyone getting it to work with different settings?

hmm i dunno, thats what it is. i have a question for you, does pop3 email count towards data plan? like on cingular for instance, will it eat up my 5mb data plan?

I have the same problem with YahooMail and Gmail.

"SMTP not found"


I have unlimited Internet plan with Cingular and 08P Firmware.

For some or other reason SSL does not always work on mobile carriers. Some carriers block the SSL ports.

Try and use unencrypted settings.

I have Yahoo! working, but I don't have the phone handy. If I remember correctly, I could get sending to work with SSL but not receiving (which I had to set to non-encrypted).

Try the various permutations. If you still can't get it drop me another line and I'll try and dig-up the settings.

Here are the settings that worked for me. As I mentioned I needed to try a few combinations, but these finally worked...

Send Setup
Server:smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 25
Email: you@yahoo.com
Nick: Your Name
Authentication: On
Same As Receive: Yes
Use SSL: No (This is important)

Receive Setup
Serverop.mail.yahoo.com
Port:995
User Name: user (only first part of email address, do not include your @yahoo.com prefix)
Password: Your Password
Re-Enter Password: Your Password
Keep On Server: Selected (Deselect if you want to delete mail off Yahoo)
Incoming Message Size:Your preference (I have 64k set)
Use SSL:Yes (This is important and different to the send options)

Signature Setup: Set this if you wish

Connection Setup: Make sure that you select a working Internet profile. Test your profile in the Browser before assuming it works.

If you follow the settings above you should have no problems accessing Yahoo from the E6.

For Gmail, I'm using 587 instead of 465... Try it works on mine...

Is someone in India on Hutch Prepaid plan able to access any of Yahoo Mail or GMail? Please let me know. It always fails for me.

i tried those settings but i get an error message that says that the connection was closed by the server

[srawat_itpro]

Hmmm. I guess the problem should be solved with a data plan. I'll have to take one for myself and see if it works.
