From: Andy Hewitt on 4 Apr 2010 14:14 Any Yahoo mail POP users out there, is it working? I actually never use this account, it's just there for Freecycle, and even that is sent to my Google account. I just keep the Yahoo one running in case someone does pick it up and send a message to it. The last few days it's not been online at all. I can still login on webmail, but nothing on POP at all. I'm not too bothered, but the warning triangle is getting a little annoying. I did try changing the settings, as I noticed they've changed the username from 'username' to username(a)yahoo.co.uk'. That worked for about ten minutes, and now it's just failed again. I can't find any server status page either, neither a Yahoo, Google or help page search finds anything. -- Andy Hewitt <http://web.me.com/andrewhewitt1/>

I have a yahoo that has been not working via Apple Mail for quite a few days now. I noted recently that new yahoo accounts have to be paid for if you want to download them through a program, and perhaps there has been some silent changeover? Just a guess. (I don't use that account much either). -- bellajonez at yahoo dot co dot uk

I only don't use it much as it's historically been rather unreliable, if they want to charge for me to use it in POP mode, it can go - I don't get much out of Freecycle anyway. -- Andy Hewitt <http://web.me.com/andrewhewitt1/>

I'm in the opposite situation, of trying to send an email to a valid yahoo.co.uk address and getting bounce messages back like this: The following message to <xxxxxxx(a)yahoo.co> was undeliverable. The reason for the problem: 5.4.7 - Delivery expired (message too old) 'DNS Soft Error looking up yahoo.co (MX) while asking recursive_nameserver0.parent. Error was: unable to reach nameserver on any valid IP' Reporting-MTA: dns; mk-outboundfilter-1.mail.uk.tiscali.com Final-Recipient: rfc822;xxxxxxxx(a)yahoo.co Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure) Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.4.7 - Delivery expired (message too old) 'DNS Soft Error looking up yahoo.co (MX) while asking recursive_nameserver0.parent. Error was: unable to reach nameserver on any valid IP' (delivery attempts: 0) The lack of the .uk part of the address is odd - I've checked the sent message in Mail and it was present originally. And that message comes back from my ISP, not from Yahoo, so it looks as if Yahoo has disappeared off the net. Phil Taylor

I've had trouble with this over the past few days, usually get the message Server has dropped connection. If I try again straight away it usually works. Lynn |
