I can send via the Yahoo SMTP but I do not have any option to turn on POP3 on the free Yahoo account.  This "more options" is not found.

For all Yahoo mail users who do not have yahoo pop3 option in their

mail settings,good news,now you too can  use pop3  without a Yahoo Plus

account .There is no software      involved here,here is all you have to do.

Here’s how:

On the right corner is the options link,click it to see the list of options.Now click on more options…

I have a Yahoo Mail POP3 account, and I use the Pegasus Mail v4.5 email

client to download and read my emails offline. The problem is I can’t

get Pegasus to connect to Yahoo Mail. I am using port 995 and Via direct

SSL connect security, but when I try to connect to Yahoo Mail, I get error message.

Pls what will i do

Thanks

I also have a yahoo account but I use port 110 for POP3 but do use 465 for smtp

I assume this is a typical free Yahoo account and not one where Yahoo is providing services to a business.

Setting up a Yahoo account here requires buying the upgrade to Mail PLus  to allow SMTP access to the server.  Here's the info for making the connection.

No problem with Yahoo  Business Mail. Pegasus can to connect to Yahoo  Business Mail.

I'm the big one, the other one is Alexander, one of a pair of twin grandsons. ;-)

If that isn't what you're looking for try ports 110 or 465

Incoming mail server settings:

• POP server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
• Use SSL
• Port: 995

Outgoing mail server (SMTP) settings:

• SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
• Use SSL
• Port: 465
• Use authentication
• Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com", for example, “jo.bloggs”)
• Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (for example, jo.bloggs@yahoo.com)

Interesting, when I tried doing this with one of the free Yahoo accounts it returned

[*] Connection established to 98.137.151.55
>> 0069 +OK hello from popgate-0.8.0.344798 pop110.plus.mail.sp2.yahoo.com
<< 0030 USER cathy.catfish@yahoo.com
>> 0024 +OK password required.
<< 0013 PASS XXXXXX
>> 0054 -ERR [AUTH] Access to this service is not permitted.


and of course I could not turn on POP3 access via the web account since it was not a Yahoo Plus account.  Could you verify that you are doing this with one of the free Yahoo accounts??
