e-mail connection using Firefox

Please try this

Make sure you have SSL for both pop and smtp. Then change the default ports by adding :995 for pop and :465 for smtp

For example

pop.att.yahoo.com:995
smtp.att.yahoo.com:465

Hope this helps

watch one do i download i go in to the site and i want to download but i do not see one for me i live in avondale pa 19311 and i do not go to a collage so now what

FAQ #98: “How to install fonts in Ubuntu 8.04”.

Thank you...I did that. The POP3 and SMTP ports are correctly configured, and SSL encryption is on. I keep getting the same messages over and over no matter what I enter as a password"
"Unable to connect to POP server pop.att.yahoo.com. Error sending password: ERR [AUTH] invalid password user."

I get the same error for SMTP.
I did not buy this Dell computer. It was given to me, and the people at Dell told me to re-register the computer under my name, which I did, but I still get the same error messages. I thought that if I changed the password on Ubuntu to the same password on ATT Yahoo, maybe that would help, but I don't know how to do that. I don't know what to enter under "sudo" to change the password on this computer.
Can you help?

Ellen,

Could it be possible that you are not using the full account username. Some POP servers only require a username, where as some accounts (like gmail or comcast) require the fully qualified username (e.g. <email address hidden>).

You may want to test that.

Thank you for your response.
I tried my full account user name, and I tried every possible clue to a password that I could think of...even my dog's name...even just plain "dog"....nothing works.

I've called AT&T and tried to discuss the problem. They only handle Windows, so they sent me to Dell, and the department I got only handled Windows, so they sent me to the department that deals with Linux-Ubuntu, and they told me to re-register this computer under my name because of something that sounded like: "If you don't own it, you can't use it." (It would really be helpful if I spoke Hindi). So now I am the registered owner...but I don't know the previous owner's password, so I thought if I changed the password to the one I use with my ISP, maybe that would work...but I don't know how to do that, and I really don't think that is the issue.

Somewhere in this system something is amiss because it simply refuses to recognize the password for my att.yahoo mail. Is there an upgrade for Ubuntu 8.40 that is missing. What is missing that would make Evolution recognize a password from my ISP that has been the same since 2005?

I will try anything.
