NewGuy Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 (edited) Hi All, I've got a TOT ADSL connection here in Pattaya, wifiing to my laptop with a DLINK modem. I do my email through Outlook 2003 signing into Yahoo.ca. Anyway, its been working well for about a year but starting a couple of hours ago Outlook could no longer send emails (receiving still works). The error message says "530 authentication required" and directs me to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-28.html which details what you have to do to connect Outlook to Yahoo. My settings seem ok but the problem persists. My outgoing STMP mail server is smtp.mail.yahoo.ca; I'm using port 587. Darn ... now email receiving doesn't work either, Outlook says "processing" but nothing happens. Any clues for me? thanks, NewGuy Edited July 1, 2006 by NewGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briley Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 You have to set 'outgoing mail server' -- 'my server requires authentication' and put in you Yahoo username and password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james512 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 If its been ok for about a year then maybe your subscription has run out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 It may well be nothing to do with your settings at all. I have a yahoo.co.uk address and I repeatedly have problems trying to download mail with Eudora. Just like you it is authentication problems. If I go to the mail.yahoo.co.uk site with my browser I am usually able to logon without difficulty. Back to Eudora, one hour it works and 30 minutes later problems. All intermittent. If you want to PM me with an e-mail address I can send you an invitation to GMail, which is much more reliable, at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
