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

[Dan]

Hi Robert,

     Here are my settings:
Receiving:
Account name: user
Login:  user at sbcglobal.net
Password: xxxxx
Host: pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
Port: 110
Extras:
Encryption: None
Authentication Method: Clear text

Sending:
Name: sbcglobal
Host: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
Port: 25
Server requires authentication: Yes
user at sbcglobal.net
Password:  xxxxx
Security:
Encryption: None
Authentication Method: Plain

The send side work great.  But the receive doesn't work.

Regards,
Dan
