hi there

i am sorry for this post, i do not hav the solution for ur post but i wannted toknow how did u configure yahoo pops on evolution.
i am facing problem there
i have installed yahoopops but i could not get it working on evolution.
so pl. tell me some steps for that

regards

think that yahoo offers access to the mail whit pop3 so you only need evolution to get your mail from yahoo.

Go to yahoo website and look how to configure your account

To masand :
Set up a new account select pop and as incoming server choose localhost:5058 and fill out your username (wihout @yahoo.com)Don't use SSL.Under authentication choose Password and check remember this password to enter later on your password just once.As outgoing server (smtp) select localhost:5059 don't use SSL again. Under Authentication type choose Login and add your username again checking also the Remeber the password box for evolution to remember the password.


To Santas
Only yahoo.co.uk i think offers free mail forward. yahoo.com unfortunatelly doesn't and since my email is in yahoo.com i needed this little program

To everybody
I've solved this problem with email deletion and everything now rocks! Thanks anyway!

hi there

thanx for the advice but it is nor working

it hangs up on

server localhost type pop

and it has been stuck for quite some time

i have checked that the 5058/5059 ports are open

pl. help

also does it first downloads all the messages then only will it display????
maybe my inbox has many messages that might be tha case
i will try keeping only 2-3 unread mails in my mailbox and see...
