ive contacted customer services but had nothing back yet. i dont think my firewalls doing anything wrong, all my other internet based email are fine :erm:

Re: yahoo mail
 

Are you running any firewall then? If so which one.
How are you accessing your mail? Is it through outlook, outlook express etc and if so have you checked your settings.
Have you got any anti-virus running? If so which software.
Have you rebooted the PC lately?
Have you installed anything since the last time you picked up your email successfully?

Re: yahoo mail
 

norton antivirus and firewall, havent installed anything for about a month!
and i go to the yahoo website and get my mail from there, it never comes through outlook express or anything :(

Re: yahoo mail
 

So you cannot access your emil through the yahoo website at the moment?

Re: yahoo mail
 

thats right, i can send emails from there no problem and recieve them in my ntl box a second later but i am not receiving any emails at all, i have tried sending them from various other email addresses

Re: yahoo mail
 

Want to PM me your yahoo address and I will see if I can email you. It's working fine for me when I send from gmail to yahoo.

You may want to try following the instructions here
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/a...access-03.html
to make sure you haven't got any damaged files or cookies for yahoo on your PC. It's not the same problem as yours but damaged cookies can cause some weird problems. I'm wondering if it's a problem on the Yahoo server that your account is on, it may be that Yahoo themselves need to sort this one out :(

Re: yahoo mail
 

Hi All

I am having same problem, can send but get the following error when trying to receive:

Task 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk - Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

I can't ping, tracert or telnet into pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk. I can from my work PC.

I am on a Windows XP laptop fully upto date with windows update and using a wireless network. I am behind a Netgear router using NAT. I have the Windows firewall disabled.

Thanks.

Re: yahoo mail
 

Have you ever collected your yahoo.co.uk mail by pop before or is this a new account?

If it's a new account you need to go to "yahoo delivers" on their site and sign up to activate the pop feature.

Re: yahoo mail
 

Jane it looks like there is a problem with your mailbox, the emails I sent back to you were bounced back with

Re: yahoo mail
 

Have you any form of firewall running on the home pc? Also do you have any Nortons software installed on the Laptop as that can interrupt it according to MS. If you can ping the location from work but not home there must be something awry with the laptop setup.

Re: yahoo mail
 

Hi All

I have no personal firewall and the Windows firewall is disabled.

I have used the yahoo account via Outlook from another PC on my network for some months without issue, and it still works from that PC without problems.

I can access other pop3 mailboxes from my laptop, but not the yahoo one. I can't ping, tracert or telnet into pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk from my laptop (by either name or IP address), but I can do all of these from my other PC.

My other PC connects to my Netgear router via a cable, my laptop connects via wireless. I have a Windows 2003 Server which runs a DNS server. It provides DNS for my local domain and passes everything else to the router.

I point my laptop at the Windows 2003 server for DNS and at my router for the gateway. Router is DHCP server. If I point the laptop at the router for DNS I can access ping pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk, so I think its a local network issue, possibly related to the DNS server on the Windows 2003 Server. However, I can't understand why I no problem from my desktop PC, but can't access pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk from my laptop.

Thanks.

I forgot that I had Peerguardian running and it was blocking pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk. Unblocked and everything is working fine.

Thanks for your help.
