<p>I have been experiencing similar problems here in the U.S. over the past few days. Coincidentally, my ISP uses Yahoo mail.</p><p>Jim Wolfe</p>

<div>I am using Pegasus Mail Version 4.63(Win32) Dec 22 2011, build 325</div><div> </div><div>A couple of hours ago it failed to connect to my Yahoo POP server with the following pop-up message: </div><div> </div><div>[*] Connection established to 188.125.68.39</div><div>>> 0067 +OK hello from popgate-1.7.2_01.594742 pop008.mail.ir2.yahoo.com </div><div><< 0016 USER hfineberg</div><div>>> 0024 +OK password required.</div><div><< 0019 PASS XXXXXXXXXXXX</div><div>8: Socket read timeout.</div><div> </div><div>and continues to fail like that every time.</div><div> </div><div>Sending mail via the SMTP server of my ISP is not affected. </div><div> </div><div>My wife also has an account at Yahoo and hers still works OK (she uses Thunderbird).</div><div> </div><div>I have no idea what to do. Can someone help - please! </div><div> </div><div>Thank you.</div><div> </div><div>Harold (London UK) </div>

<p>Miracles never cease!</p><p> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">The problem has evaporated. It is now working again. I can only assume it was a fault with the POP server.</span></p><p> But thank you anyway, those who read and thought about it!</p><p> Harold<span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
