For the last few days, I think since I installed SP1, I can't get email.
This is the error message: An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x80004005 Does anybody have a fix? |

AT&T Yahoo may have tightened up their requirements on how closely you need to follow their recommendations for how to set up your email account under Windows Mail. See he http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=10918 Also, unknown errors are often due to interference from an antivirus program. What if any antivirus programs, antispyware programs, firewall programs, and other security programs do you have? |

Your email settings look fine.
Perhaps some third party security program (antivirus, anti-spyware) is not compatible with SP1. Uninstall the third party security programs one at a time to find the culprit. If all else fails, you can try upgrading to WLM: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Burt" wrote in message ...
