    Unhappy outlook problem

    I'm trying to set up yahoo mail with outlook (not express), i've read numerous guides and they all pretty much say the same thing, the incoming server is pop.mail.yahoo.com and the outgoing server is smtp.mail.yahoo.com and i ticked the my server requires authentification box but every time i try to check my mail with the correct info, it keeps coming up with the password box then eventually says the password was rejected.

    There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid user/password', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

    but they are the right username and password

    Can anyone help?

    Where are you? UK? US?

    I see issues regarding the type of service you have with Yahoo.

    I sort of fixed it using the ypop application that the website you showed me suggested and i followed the details of how to set it up and it does work and downloads the e-mail through outlook but it takes so long to download the e-mail, if it says i have 10 new e-mails, it takes like a minute to get each and the e-mails are like 40kb in size each, when i was with freeserve which was set up with outlook, it downloaded about 2 per second. I don't know if this is because of the ypop thing and this is the best it's gonna work but if it is then i might as well go on the site and check my e-mails
