The problems have been intermittent for a week or so. I've left my
settings with the SSL as specified he

Sometimes is works normally, sometimes it takes a couple of minutes to
go through the connection/authorization phase, and sometimes I get an
error message like you. But I've always gotten through within 5 to 10
minutes.

Thank you Norman. At least I have found someone with same problem !

The work around does not work for me. AND now I can not send either.
Hopefully someone is working on it. I have spent hours on this
problem with
sst, chat, phone, etc. etc. It is refreshing to find someone like
yourself who sees what I am trying to say.

I have to give it a rest for a few days before I retackle. In
meantime, if
you find a solution, please, please, please help me.

This is the error message
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible
causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: ', Server:

Testing another account
There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password

rejected. Account: 'booklovers', Server: 'pop.att.yahoo.com',

Server Response: '-ERR invalid user/password', Port: 995,

Can you help?

Other accounts working fine. I miss my Outlook Express.

The 'at&t Yahoo! HSI servers are having difficulties with SSL at this
time.
The common suggest is to revert to port 110 without SSL for the
moment. If
you are not having trouble sending, leave the Outgoing server
information
alone.

As you can see, lots of 'at&t Yahoo! HSI' users are having troubles;
myself,
as well.
