Default Yahoo mail POP connect error using Outlook Express 6. It was working all right before.
I uninstalled Norton and it works now. I believe it was expired Norton
firewall that caused the problem

I have a free yahoo account ". It was working
alright for years, but since a few days ago, I have the following
problem:

The server responded with an error. Account: ',
Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR
Cannot connect to POP server 216.136.173.10 (216.136.173.10:110),
connect error 10061', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error:
0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90

Thanks for anyone's help.



So how long did you wait to see if the server would come back up?
They do die and sometimes are pulled for maintenance. Wait a few
hours and try again.
