when i try to send emails and it continues to say that the host” pop 3″ or the host “smptp” cant be found and to check if a typed in the servers name correctly. When i called my service provider for high speed internet which is Time Warner Cable they said i needed to get the host names from Yahoo. What are the host names?or where are they locasted?
In order to use a separate email program, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, or Thunderbird, with Yahoo Mail you need POP3. It is also needed when using any program or right clicking on a file to directly send email. It is free in the UK, AU, and NZ but in the US you must pay for Yahoo Mail Plus. It is also required when you try to transfer the mail using smtp or pop3 to another online email. When you do you can set the servers as follows:
Incoming (pop3)
US – plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com SSL 995
UK – pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk SSL 995
AU and NZ – pop.mail.yahoo.com.au SSL 995
Outgoing (smtp)
US – plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com 465 TLS
UK – smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk SSL 465 TLS
AU and NZ – smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au SSL 465 TLS
NOTE: The same servers are used for ymail and rocketmail. Use the entire email address as the Yahoo ID.
You can also look at the program Ypops. I have no recommendation for or against.
