WTF Yahoo mail

XabbaRus · 09-19-05, 04:27 PM

I am at the moment on dialup as I await BB back.

anyway I can't get into Yahoo mail.

When I log in I get the file download dialog box which ~I never got on broadband or at work when I can get into Yahoo mail no problems.

I haven't changed anything for dial up so what is going on?

It changed the way it logs in, apparently. You need to go to your account settings in outlook and change the out going server settings to 'My out going server (SMTP) requires authentication.' But this was a few months back?

They have just 'updated' all their mail service in the last few days as well. I have had no end of problems with Bt-Yahoo mail for about 5 months. For ages it wouldn't let me send anything from outlook although mail got delivered Ok.

Egan,
Change your Yahoo email option to recieve your mail by webmail and you
won't have anymore problems.

It actually all works the way it should now. The problem went as suddenly as it came... I have no idea what I changed.

This is with web mail.

I can access it fine on my work PC but not on my home PC with dialup.
