Guest Sal Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 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

Guest certified2fix Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Re: E-mail gets lost, no bounceback, nothing. 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. -- certified2fix

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.
Guest certified2fix Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Re: E-mail gets lost, no bounceback, nothing. 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.:: -- certified2fix

This last suggestion was right-on, and I'm embarassed not of thought of it myself. Thanks again to both of you.
Guest certified2fix Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: E-mail gets lost, no bounceback, nothing. 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! :) -- certified2fix
Guest PA Bear Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: E-mail gets lost, no bounceback, nothing.
