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

You have to set 'outgoing mail server' -- 'my server requires authentication' and put in you Yahoo username and password

If its been ok for about a year then maybe your subscription has run out...

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.
