    I use Outlook Express 6 and am having no difficulty sending messages. I have SSL set to port 995 for outgoing mail and have also taken Yahoo’s advice to use the plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com server address. But I still get the unknown error message listing error number 0x80004005. My POP3 mail had been working fine until 29 February but now is not. My wife’s Yahoo Mail Plus POP3 is working fine with Outlook Express.


  • Ms.MojoRisin Suddenly I’m receiving the same message. I’ve had Outlook with Yahoo Mail Plus for a coule of years, and for the past few days, I can’t send or receive through Outlook. I’ve check and re-checked the settings through the Yahoo Mail Plus site, but to no avail. Please post if you figure it out. Thanks and good luck!

    EDIT: Hey, I went on a chat with a Yahoo Mail customer service person just now and it took about 15 minutes, but she fixed it. We tried a ton of different things, but it came down to using different ports than are recommended on the on-line instructions.


  • Heman Having the same problem since today. Hope someone can help with the port settings soon. feel paralysed & frustrated.

    Finally found a solution… deleted all mails from my yahoo mail (Web) & now all new emails are downloading to my outlook express as before. Hope it works for you’ll.


  • ebaydebra MojoR can you tell us what the settings were that you made to the ports when you spoke to Yahoo? I am still not able to receive on Port 995 with my Mail Plus account through Incredimail. I keep getting a Socket Error Message.

    Thanks!
