[...] use an online email service like Gmail, Yahoo Mail or AOL to compose an email, add attachments and other data files. Also, we use email client [...]

I’ve also tried Thunderbird following the above instructions with the result of:

“Can’t connect to localhost”

I would really rather use Outlook 2007 though.

I am also having problems getting the Outlook 2007 to download Yahoo! emails.

I have two yahoo! accounts one paid for, one free and I don’t seem to be able to download either using YPOP.

I am more interested in using YPOP to download all Yahoo! email folders not just the Inbox. I’ve been wanting to do that for ever!!!

That would be absolutely excellent if I can do that.

So, if there is a way to get this to work I want to know!

Is there someone who knows if there is a Microsoft Outlook 2003 connector for yahoo email retrieving or other yPOPs gateway ?

thx

This sounds like a windows problem. If you have access to another windows machine, can you please try installing on that ? Or run windows update and see if that solves your problem.

To all those who haven’t been able to make ypops working, could you all please download and try the latest version. It was released on the 9th of March and probably fixes most of these issues.

Same error about not downloading message 1 and not getting anymore email. it sometimes gets mail but then gets stuck, wondering if you figured out what causes it?

Having used YPOPS! for a long time with no issue, then experiencing the “no new mail” situation out of the blue (in spite of the several new messages awaiting download), I am fairly convinced that Yahoo made a change to purposefully block or render YPOPS! useless.

Yahoo, your service actually sucks more than AOL. And that’s saying something!!!

The error message coming is given here:
“Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server localhost responded: Bad Login. YPOPS was unable to login to Yahoo! Mail with the given credentials.”
But my credentials were correct. Can you help me what is the problem?

And the following lines from the ypops.log:

hi, can I get some advice?

Getting the same error as daydream.

“The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving a message. Mail server localhost responded: message 1 could not be downloaded.”

I’ve checked the instruction settings, are ok.

The settings pane for ypops has something called an activity log. That is what you need to enable.

Where do I find that in YPOPS? I looked put couldnt put my finger on it. Thanks for all your help

By: Sharninder

Sharninder — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 05:20:05 +0000

Can you send us the logs generated by YPOPs. It worked for me and I also used thunderbird so there must be some other problem.

I cant seem to get Thunderbird to work either. I followed you directions to the word , but it still didnt work any suggestions

Michelle, the timeout usually happens if the client is connecting to a different port than the one ypops is listening to. Have you changed the network settings by any chance ? Are the port settings the same for both the client and ypops ?

By: Sharninder

Sharninder — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 05:24:14 +0000

@Lindsay: Can you have a look at the logs that ypops generates for your connection failures. If you can’t make anything out of them, send them to us and we’ll see what we can do to help you. This should work without too much effort. Also double check the pop3 and smtp settings in both ypops and the email client.

Mine keeps timing out…I changed the settings in both as recommended and nada….HELP I can’t afford to pay Yahoo anymore and I hate to have to go anywhere else…

I downloaded YPops and tried using it with my Outlook. However, Outlook keeps on asking me for my password which is already saved and when I click OK it happens over and over. What can be wrong? I manually configured my POP and SMTP settings to match YPops’ already. :’(

Oh my gawd… I’ve been trying to do this for three months, but it hasn’t worked. Thank God for makeuseof! (:

I have to give you a cheers on this one.

I had been using Yahoo for about 10 years, and then a year ago I switched to Gmail because I could use Thunderbird. Now I can use both. (:
