I have a paid Yahoo Small Business (not Yahoo Plus) email account that I want to add to Outlook.com as a send-and-receive account. I originally configured this months ago and it worked fine for several months, until late July when it randomly stopped
working. Following troubleshooting steps seen in some answers on this community forum, I removed the non-working account and am now trying to re-add it.
I get the following error message when attempting to add the account:
We couldn't sign in to your POP3 server. Please make sure your username and password are correct.
Please note the following.
1) This is a paid Yahoo Small Business account, not a free account.
2) This is a Yahoo Small Business account, not a Yahoo Plus account.
3) The Yahoo Small Business POP server is pop.bizmail.yahoo.com (SSL/995) and the SMTP server is smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com (SSL/465).
4) The username and password I entered are correct.
5) Accessing this Yahoo Small Business account through the desktop Microsoft Outlook email client works fine.
6) Accessing this Yahoo Small Business account through the Yahoo mail website works fine.
I see that many others have had the same issue and a few seem to have gotten it resolved by posting here. Please fix your bug, guys, or, in the alternative, at least fix my account. =^)
I have a Yahoo Mail Plus Account and have tried to have it forward to my Outlook.com account. I have tried to have it do so with a "send only" account as well as a "send and receive" account. In Outlook.com when I try to set up with the "send and receive" account it says I need to have Yahoo Plus. I have had Yahoo Plus for a long time, and it always comes up with this message, and will not complete the forwarding. I do not receive that message for a "send only" account, however, the "send only" doesn't forward my E-Mails from Yahoo so it is useless.
In many of the responses on this topic you have private E-Mail communications. No problem with me except that it doesn't provide a solution for users like myself. Can you please help me and perhaps others on this forum with this problem. It seems to be a common issue, that has yet to be resolved.
