Troubleshooting instructions.
If you followed the above configuration steps, you should be all
set. However, if you cannot send or receive mail with your email
client, try the following tips.
The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server requires authentication. Make sure you
have enabled SMTP authentication. To turn this setting on, follow these
steps:
- From the Mail Accounts window, select your Yahoo! account and click on "Properties."
- Click the "Servers" tab.
- Click the "My server requires authentication" field.
- Click "OK."
To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail server:
- From the IncrediMail main window, click on the "Tools" menu and select "Accounts."
- Select your Yahoo! Mail account and click on "Properties."
- Click on "Advanced" tab.
- Check the "Leave a copy of messages on server" field.
- Click "OK."
A copy of the messages will now be left on the Yahoo! server, allowing you to read your email via the Web.
