Freecycle leads to Yahoo email woes

Following the thread several days ago about Freecycle system/groups -
I did signup to my local Freecycle group - which you do by signing up
to Yahoo groups - in the process of which you have to get a Yahoo
Account ID plus Password plus email address.
This proceeded relatively trouble free and I ended up signed up to my
local Freecycle group and able to read the messages via the uk
website.
I then decided to use my new Yahoo email address for normal email -
and then my problems started.
I set up a new Mail Account in OE using server/port info I found
somewhere on the Yahoo system - but subsequently couldn't find again.
From memory it involved reasonably standard pop and smtp server namesbut SSL port numbers.
Anyway having put this info from Yahoo into OE I tried to use it by
pressing Send/Receive.I immediately got a Logon/ID box demanding
password (which is already there as a line of blobs but I supply
again).Press enter and it immediately reappears ad nauseam.
Press cancel and you get an error message as follows
There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Server:
'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Error
logging in. Please visit http://mail.yahoo.com', Port: 995,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
This is all with 'Logon using SPA' unchecked.
If you do check the SPA box and try again you don't get the recurrent
password demand but you do get a different error message as follows
Unable to logon to the server using Secure Password Authentication.
Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk',
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR popgate unknown command', Port:
995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number:
0x800CCC18
And really that's as far as I have got.I have tried all the
permutations and combinations in the account properties that I can
think of - but I always get one or the other of the above two error
messages.
There are clearly quite a few Silversurfers involved in this Freecycle
system.Have any of them tried to use the Yahoo email address and with
what results.
Or is it nothing to do with Freecycle and my errors in trying to set
up a new/multi email account.
All comments/advice gratefully received.
