Re: Windows mail

Gary,
Thanks for the answers. I use McAfee for my antivirus. The box was
unchecked already. When I go to McAfee site to undo the antivirus
protection, will I be taking the protection off my whole computer or just the
emails? Thanks again for your help.

The usual reason for that error is this setting:
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that mail account, Properties, Servers.
Uncheck the box for "Log on using Secure Password Authentication."

If that setting was already unchecked, the next most likely cause is a
non-compatible antivirus. Which antivirus are you using?

Yahoo is a special case.
US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP
access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not webmail.
There are two Yahoo solutions:

1. How did you access Yahoo mail before? If you are happy with
webmail via your browser, you can continue to use that.

2. Pay Yahoo to get their premium "Mail Plus" service:

and use the special settings for that service:

Hi Gary,
The error reads: Error popgate unknown command port:110, Secure (SSL),
No,Server Error: Ox800ccc90, error number:Ox 800ccc18.
Does this make any sense to you? All I wanted to do was have my two email
accounts, one with comcast and one with yahoo show up automatically in one
place. Tonight when I went into Windows mail my comcast showed one email
received. So that one seems to be working. I didn't check to see if I could
send an email yet. Why can't I get yahoo working? Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks,

Right-click on the error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

wrong?
