What is the pop and smtp ( incoming and outgoing) servers of a yahoo.com email address.?

pop.mail.yahoo.com


smtp.mail.yahoo.com





But you need a Yahoo Mail Plus account to use pop mail. This costs around 20/year.

You will have to contact your service provider as far as I know, speak under correction thou.!!!


MS Outlook asks me incoming and outgoing servers ?s (POP3, SMTP) regarding my yahoo email acct.?????

More than likely Yahoo and other free mail accounts don't let you use those any more, you have to use your web browser to do that.

To my knowledge, you cannot use Outlook for Yahoo Mail. It is internet only.

Reply:SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used to send email and POP3 (Post Office Protocol) is used to receive the email. Other way of sending and receiving emails is through IMAP.





***************





Yahoo! Mail users can read their email in Outlook Express by subscribing to the Yahoo! Mail Plus service. This service allows you to use Outlook Express or another POP3 client to access and manage your Yahoo! Mail messages.





If you are a Mail Plus user, then follow the directions outlined below:


Outlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages. Here's how:





From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."


Select the "Mail" tab.


Click the "Add" button.


From the Add menu, click "Mail."


In the text box labeled Display Name, type your name and click "Next."


In the Email Address box, type your Yahoo! Mail address (be sure to include "@yahoo.com") and click "Next."


Under "My incoming mail server is a..." select "POP3."


Type "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) Server box.


Type "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box.


Click "Next."


In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com").


In the Password box, type your Yahoo! Mail password.


If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the "Remember password" box.


Do not check the boxes labeled "Log on using Secure..."


Click "Next."


Click "Finish."


Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on:





From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."


Select the "Mail" tab.


Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."


Select the "Servers" tab.


Check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication."


Click "OK."


To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server:





From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."


Select the "Mail" tab.


Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."


Select the "Advanced" tab.


In the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on the Yahoo! Mail server as well as on your local computer. Do not check this box if you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server once you have received them in Outlook Express.


If your ISP blocks port 25 or if you're unable to send email, then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change, please follow the directions below:








From the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts"


Select your Yahoo! POP account and click on the "Properties" button


Click on the "Advanced" tab


Next to "Outgoing server (SMTP), change port 25 to 587


Click "Apply", then click "OK" and "Close"

My email program suddenly fails to connect to the ymail pop and smtp servers. No error just doesn't connect.?

I am using the OSX mail program and it has connected to the ymail servers perfectly since I got my ymail address (1 or 2 months). All the pop %26amp; smtp settings are correct, I am using SSL and the correct ports but it still won't receive or send mail. I have checked the passwords are correct and I can login to the webmail site. Do they have a server problem? The mail connection doctor which comes with the OS cannot connect either.





Any ideas?

I'm afraid that you're not the only one having problems, I, my wife and 2 kids have all stopped being able to receive from yahoo via pop3 starting today (using Thunderbird e-mail clients).


Have tried to look around yahoo for news of any server outages/upgrades/failures but with no luck.





If it doesn't clear up soon (24hrs?) then I shall move to gmail!





Maybe Microsoft have already bought Yahoo and installed Vista on their servers!! ;-)
Reply:loads of other people (me included) have had problems with email starting today, not bein able to download to an external program (outlook/thunderbird etc) seems to be the major problem, no real solution as of yet, ive changed my incoming server to .com instead of .co.uk %26amp; also use by btinternet account to send from so now i can send an recieve using outlook.


might be worth getting another free email account to send from
Reply:Sorry don't know the answer but my 2 yahoo addresses haven't been able to send for several days using outlook express, and today have been unable to send or receive.


Sending mail through SMTP such as Gmails'. But doing it within a server that doesn't allow sending email

Assume from a free hosting account that I picked up I can neither send nor recieve e-mails without paying for it. Now with that in mind what I want to be able to do is have a contact form and someone just be able to have it send me e-mail. But ofcourse the server will not allow it and this contact form is posted on this server. Is there a way to be able to post my page on the server that I have, but have a contact form on it which will somehow bypass the "un-allowment" of getting an e-mail from the contact form and somehow call something such as Googles free smtp? Then have the contact form just send the information or contact the smtp.gmail.com and e-mail it to my Google mail or another e-mail adress? So I am trying to bypass the e-mail, or lack of of the hosting company.





Thanks,





Brian

Sending mail through SMTP such as Gmails'. But doing it within a server that doesn't allow sending email
if you created the form from scratch including the send mail script then edit the server name, if this form is a template from a hosting provider, most likely its hardcoded and you can't change it


Does anyone know the server addresses for Gaweb pop3 email? You know pop..... etc and smtp........ etc.?

Gawab incoming mail server (POP) is: pop.gawab.com





Gawab outgoing mail server (SMTP) is: smtp.gawab.com


I m getting the exception for unknown smtp hostname in my email server project using jsp javamail package..?

For yahoo


Incoming Mail Server (POP3):pop.mail.yahoo.co.in


Use SSL, port: 995, use authentication


Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):smtp.mail.yahoo.co.in


Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication





If ur other codes are allright, it should work.





After ur additional info:





It's not ur local server. So u need the javax.mail.Authenticator to connect to it even for sending. Carefully go through the API Docs. Then Subclass Authenticator and override method getPasswordAuthentication().


Then use





public static Session getInstance(java.util.Properties props,


Authenticator authenticator).





I mean Session.getInstance(java.util.Properties props,


Authenticator authenticator).





U also need 2 use SMTPS protocol for SSL connection.


That will do the magic.





U need fair amount of knowledge of SMTP/POP/IMAP apart from JavaMail API.





U r welcome to send me ur code. but yahoos messaging service allows only 1500 chars including whitespaces !!!!!








" if you have any code which is working fine then send it to me on my mail address"





I shall provide u suggestions, discuss ur problems, point out ur mistakes.





Just like any other professional I have my own APIs which works fine.


But u can't expect a professional to distribute those. :)





After ur additional info:





Did u try my previous suggestions?





I never disclose my mail ID in public. No one should. If one does Spammers spam him to death.





I can't mail u because, u haven't allowed emails in ur YA profile.





Click on my AVTAAR. That will take u 2 my YA profile. From there u can send me a message using yahoos messaging service. That way u can send me ur mail ID without disclosing it in public. I shall mail u back from my mail ID. If u need too detail explanations, I shall xplain those over Skype.





Usually my replies may be a little late. That's because I answer about 10 to 15 technical queries per week. U should understand. But there will alwasys be replies.
