    Why can't WLM connect to pop to retrieve email ?


    Unable to send or receive messages for the Yahoo (xxxxxx) account. The
    e-mail server returned an error.

    Server Error: 0x800CCC90
    Server Response: -ERR Cannot establish SSL, SSL_connect error 10054
    Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com'
    Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC90
    Protocol: POP3
    Port: 110
    Secure(SSL): No




    I'd like to say its a typo, but I can retrieve pop3 from Yahoo with
    another email client program but not uaing WLM.

    Windows 7, WindowsLive Mail.

    The error says that you are not using SSL when the setup instructions say
    that it is needed.

    Looks like you are use mail server names and settings that have long
    since been superseded. Is this a paid Yahoo account, a free one, or is it
    partnered through your ISP? If free, is it based in the US?
