Can you now use "Outlook Express" to access Yahoo mail?

Is there something wrong with Yahoo POP Mail recently?

  • I can't access Yahoo mail with any POP client or API. When I use Outlook Express it hangs for the full timeout when I Send/Receive and then says something like "Failed to Authorize" and asks me for my Username/Password again even though they are correct. When I use another POP client I get the error message "Maildrop Unavailable". I need access to my account through POP for work so it's very important that I get some kind of solution to this... =( Is Yahoo aware of this problem? Has anyone heard anything, are they doing anything to fix this? Is anyone experiencing these problems as well? Please anyone give me some information, I'm in a really tight spot here and I don't know what to do.

  • Answer:

    I'm not sure I fully understand this whole Yahoo Q&A process so I thought I'd state to you that I am seeing a similar Outlook issue. I can download received mail. I can't however send replies. When I hit Send/Receive I just get an error message with "failure to connect". I'd be happy to upgrade my Yahoo from free to service fee if that's what's required, but I don't see a Yahoo contact link to get a real live person's advice. Any suggestions, anyone?

I'm not sure if it's a Yahoo problem or what but I am also having trouble. It just started in the last two or three days. I can't download emails at all. It tells me that it is receiving message 1 of 22 but just hangs then does a timeout on me. I have reloaded my mail connection but that didn't help. I wish I could be of more help but I'm stuck too.
