Vista - Yahoo

For some reason for the last few days I can't receive my Yahoo mail using
Windows Mail, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E, what's going
on?,

Phil

Everything was fine and just today I got that message,please help

Do you have a paid Yahoo account or a free one?

Right-click on the error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without that complete error message.

That type of error is often caused by interference from a non-
compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
For more information on why email scanning is bad, see

Phil, keep trying I check my mail everyday and today for some reason it refused point blank giving me same error message as you and have tried at least 3-4 times today and just tried again and its working fine which seems to tell me it was a Yahoo problem. If not try making a new file and see if that works sometimes find windows updates that update your windows mail can cause the files to act odd so always have a copy of all my files and the set up info saved in a folder named Email Set Up Info

Gary,

Could be Yahoo as mine checked fine last night at 10pm all day today refused to check it just fails and gives the same error as the other two posters, just checked mine again and bang works just fine not done anything different just works again now.

Debbie

Yes, a temporary server malfunction could indeed cause
that type of error message.

I've got Avira but I had it for along time. What shoud I do turn it off? And
I also have spyware doctor. I alos changed for incoming mails port for 995
but I still don't get messages.

I don't think yahoo.co.uk supports port 995, so keep it on port 110.

You basically have two choices at this point.
1. a. Uninstall Avira, reboot, then test WM again. If no improvement:
1. b. Uninstall Spyware Doctor, reboot, then test WM again.
If no improvement, proceed to step 2.

2. (You can go here directly, without uninstalling anything.)
Download and install Windows Live Mail (WLM):

WLM is less prone to suffering bad effects from overly aggressive security
programs.

Either way, email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for
reasons explained here:

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Avira, so I can't give you the exact steps to
disable its email scanning.
