Hi, I'm using windows Live Mail and I would like to use Yahoo mail in Windows Live Mail. I have tried using YPOPS, but it could not work. I have followed the direction on their website but it still doesn't work. I got this error message:
Unable to send or receive messages for the Yahoo account. The connection to the server has failed.
Server: '127.0.0.1'
Windwos Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: POP3
Port: 110
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10061
It's important to note that you should always have the latest version of YPOPS downloaded, and keep in mind that YPOPS does not work for everyone. If you really want to keep your Yahoo account and access it with POP3 you may need to upgrade to a premium yahoo account.
I have restarted, and tried removing my account and added again, it still doesn't work. But, I don't know how to check whether my tcp port 110 is blocked though. I have avast antivirus and Microsoft Security Essential.
I got the EXACT same problem with no solution...Did you ever figure it out? Funny how everyone stopped helping you. I wonder if it's even possible anymore.
It is possible for some people. YPOPS is not a solution that works for everyone. A Yahoo Mail member trying to use YPOPS may also need to work through firewall and anti-virus program configurations to get it working. The guide that is linked to from post #2 is a good starting point. Good luck!
