Excellent Puneet, no more "Server not found" error. I called Yahoo yesterday
and found out they've been having major server problems for at least two days.
I am assuming the accounts you're having trouble with are the Yahoo
accounts. I would challenge you on two items:
1. You should *make sure* of the proper Name and Password entries. Even to
re-enter them. Sometimes it's as simple as having the Caps Lock turned on,
without realizing it. But if they are wrong, you will never get on.
2. You should verify the "Port 587" and "SSL" settings. Normally it's Port
25 and no SSL. I'm not saying it's wrong, but to verify.

I'm wondering if you followed my previous instructions, or if you checked to
see if they were correct.

hi ZILLA,

Now i am facing the another problem described as below.

Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): Outlooks could not connect to the
incoming POP3 mail server because the server did not accept your user
name or password.
(FYI i have put the correct user id and password.)

Here i am using the setting like below.

1) My incoming server port 110 and not check SSL here.
2) Outgoing server port is 587 and checking SSL

So please suggest me here i am doing something wrong. i have tried all
the P&C here.

FYI : i have successfully configure my gmail account in outlook.

Hi Puneet,
I was having the same issue with Yahoo servers yesterday. They are
working
on them. The instructions you followed are correct, but I was just
looking
through the settings you listed. There may be one thing: See if you
can find
something like "My outgoing server requires authentication" (NOT
"Secure
password authentication") Put a check for that and tick "Use same
settings as
my incoming mail server."
Give us an update.
