[kde-linux] kmail - receiving mail with sbcglobal yahoo

[Blues Renegade]

I'm not an SBC user, but it looks good, but I would try a few diff 
Authentication methods--see, if that makes a diff. Also, is Thunderbird 
remembering the password?  By chance, did you enter it wrong and then 
correct it later?

Have you tried removing the account and creating it all over again?

Any other mail programs setup and working? Is Port 110 actually open 
thru the firewall? Have you checked the runlevel services and 
mail-related services in there?

Almost certainly, this is a configuration problem.

Good luck with it--I know how aggravating it can get.
