No, this is a free Yahoo Canada account that I have separate from my
Sympatico service.

Is your yahoo.ca account part of your Sympatico service?

If not, you'll have to subscribe to Yahoo Delivers! to be able to access
the account in OE. See http://help.yahoo.com/help/ca/mail/pop/pop-02.html
and http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-06.html (info is correct
for OE6).

Thanks, I'll have a look at these tomorrow - I have to go to work now.

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.
