E-mail gets lost, no bounceback, nothing.

[Guest Sal]

When I use Outlook Express to send an e-mail to a Yahoo mail account

it never arrives, and I never even receive a "failure to deliver"

message. It just gets lost. I can, however, send e-mail to a Gmail

account. This is the strangest thing. Are there any settings in OE

that I should look at? I can't understand why the same e-mail can be

sent to Gmail successfully and just gets lost when sent to Yahoo mail.

 

SMTP: mail.cyberonic.com

IP address of server: 4.17.179.4

Port: 25

No server authentication

Well, I'm not sure which version of OE you are using, but you have to

configure OE for Yahoo Mail. to do this:

 

Go to Tools, Accounts, Choose Mail tab. Click Add. Then click Mail. You

will see a 'Display Name' text box. type your name and choose Next. In

the email address field type your yahoo email address, i.e.:

yourname******.com; click next.

 

Under your 'incoming mail server' make sure POP3 is selected. then type

pop.mail.yahoo.com; next field type smtp.mail.yahoo.com in 'Outgoing'

mail. then click next.

 

Under the account name box type in your yahoo email id and the password

that you use to get into yahoo. You can also have OE remember your

password by checking the "remember pasword" field. Leave the "Log on

using..." blank. Click Next and Finish.

 

Also, remember that The Yahoo Mail server now needs authentication.

Turn the feature on by going into accounts from the tools menu,

selecting the mail tab, dbl-clicking pop.mail.yahoo.com, select the

servers tab, check the box next to My Server Requires Authentication,

and click OK.

 

To control auto-deletion from Yahoo, go to accounts from the tools

menu. Select mail tab again, dbl-clicking on the pop.mail.yahoo.com and

go to advanced tab then checkmark "leave a copy at server"

 

In addition, you may need to use port 587 when sending email to yahoo

if port 25 is blocked by your Internet Service Provider. These are the

steps:

 

Tools> Accounts> Yahoo account> Properties> Advanced tab> Change port

on Outgoing Server (SMTP) to 587 from 25 to open for port-forwarding of

messages. Click apply and then close. I would also recommend closing out

of the application and going back in. If it still doesn't work, try a

cold boot, leave off for 10 seconds and then go back into application.

but it shouldn't be a problem. let me know if this corrects it or not.

I don't want yahoo to be my POP3 and SMTP servers. I want to use my

ISP's mail server. I shouldn't have to configure a special account

just to send an e-mail. Why don't I have to do this for Google? Port

25 is not blocked, otherwise I wouldn't be able to send e-mail to a

Gmail account.

then try this:

 

To set up your Yahoo Mail account for use in Outlook

Express:

Go to your Yahoo Mail account online in your web browser.

Click *Options*

Click *Pop Access & Forwarding*

To Sign Up, you'll have to agree to accept e-mails of special offers

from Yahoo. Select the categories of offers you are willing to receive,

then click *Finished*.

Use the defaults on the next screen ("Web and POP Access", and "HTML

Messages") and click *Submit*.

Now you will be at a page which is titled "Pop Configuration". You

might want to bookmark this page and/or print it, in case you ever

reinstall Outlook Express. Near the bottom of this page is a link titled

"Configuring Microsoft Outlook Express". Click that link and follow the

instructions there to finish the setup.

 

::After you finish the above setup you will be able to pick up

and send Yahoo Mail messages using Outlook Express.::

Sounds like it might be incorrectly seen as spam. Ask the recipient to

check his/her Bulk Messages folder.

certified2fix: thank you for taking the time and effort to help me

solve this problem, however...

sometimes the simplest solutions are overlooked. This last suggestion

was right-on, and I'm embarassed not of thought of it myself. Thanks

again to both of you.

I appologize. Sometimes I get too technical with my troubleshooting. I

never considered checking the bulk mail folder under yahoo. And you are

right. Sometimes the easiest solutions are overlooked. :) Have a great

day! Thanks again for allowing me the opportunity to assist you. The

pleasure was all mine! :)

If a copy of the sent message ends up in Deleted Items folder (assuming you

have this option enabled), the problem's not on your end.
