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

[rf]

I wonder if the password is the problem.  I know mine is definitely NOT the
same as my random yahoo.com email passwords.

Also, it might be that without doing the setup in windows (there was a cdrom
I got with my original DSL package, which included the modem, that had a lot
of yahoo crap on it), where, I think the email password is set, then the
account is not fully ready to be used.  But not sure why sending would work
then...

Maybe setting up in windows is the only option at this point.

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
