Yahoo Tells Me 530 Authentication Required

Recommended Posts

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

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. :o
