I'm on Freeserve/Wanadoo anytime and I've just sent myself an E-Mail from my
Yahoo account to my Yahoo account, so it certainly works from
Freeserve/Wanadoo.
Account settings
GENERAL -
Mail account (I've called mine Yahoo Mail) I think that is your choice.
User Info -
Name (Name to appear on mail) Your choice.
Org - (blank)
Email address -
fred@xxxxxxxxxxx
Reply add - (blank)
Include when receiving etc. (ticked)
SERVERS -
Incoming Mail server - (POP3)
incoming POP3 - (127.0.0.1)
outgoing SMTP - (127.0.0.1)
Either both should be (pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk) or outgoing could be
(smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk) firewall has changed them and I can't remember the
original settings.
Account name - Part before the @
Password - xxxxxxx
Remember password - (mine's ticked but that's personal preference)
Secure password auth. - (unticked)
Outgoing server req. auth. - (ticked) don't know why, must have already been
set as ticked.
CONNECTION
untick
This is from my set up, it's over five years since I set this up and I can't
remember why various things are set the way they are. The important thing
is they work like this as my test showed.
The only thing that I've just noticed is I've never had a Yahoo PAYG
account. I just set mine up as a webmail account.
Hope this helps
Colin
