I would like to configure Outlook Express so that I can use it to read,
reply and create emails for my Yahoo Canada account but I'm having some
problems.

I get this error message when I check my mail:

Unable to logon to the server using Secure Password Authentication.
Account: 'Yahoo Canada', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR popgate unknown command', Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18

This is my current configuration from the Servers tab of the Mail
account properties. I'm using square brackets with an 'X' in them to
denote a checkbox, e.g. [x]. I'm using round brackets with nothing
between them to indicate a radio button that hasn't been selected,
e.g. (). I'm using round brackets with an 'o' in them to indicate a
radio button that has been selected, e.g. (o).

Server Information
------------------
My incoming mail server is a POP3 server.
Incoming mail (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Incoming Mail Server
--------------------
Account name: rhino_yahoo
Password: ******
[x] Remember password
[x] Log on using Secure Password Authentication

Outgoing Mail Server
--------------------
[x] My server requires authentication
Settings button:
(o) Use same settings as my incoming mail server
() Log on using [GREYED OUT]

1. Do I have the right values under Server Information? I'm not sure
if the values I found are for Canada, the US, or both.

2. In Account Name, should I have "rhino_yahoo" or
?

3. Should I check the box that says "Log on using Secure Password
Authentication"?

4. Should I check the box that says "My server requires
authentication"?

I've tried several different variations on the values shown in this
note but all of them lead to errors of some kind, although not
necessarily the one shown here.

I'd really appreciate your help in fixing these settings.

Yahoo.com discontinued pop mail service for free accounts several years
ago. I
believe Canada followed suit. This was about the same time that Hotmail
did the
same thing, but only for new accounts. Hotmail grandfathered older ones.
