Subject: Reading email from a Yahoo POP server (inbound.att.net)
Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 16:09:43 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ba8d2481-1218-4a6f-b8f8-eecd6d3fa09f@googlegroups.com> (raw)
I've made an effort to get email from a POP enabled Yahoo server (inbound.att.net), but the buffer " trace of POP session to inbound.att.net" ends up with content:
+OK password required.
-ERR [SYS/TEMP] Service is not available; please try again later.
*** Fatal error: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.
*** Server has terminated the connection abnormally.
and I seem stuck--for the moment.
If others have succeeded, I'd be interested in some of the relevant details.
My version information is:
GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2012-08-28 on MARVIN
Gnus v5.13
and I have gnutls, openssl, etc. from Cygwin installed. My operating system is Windows XP Home.
From my customization file:
'(gnus-secondary-select-methods (quote ((nnbabyl ""))))
'(gnus-select-method (quote (nnnil "news")))
'(mail-sources (quote ((pop :server "inbound.att.net" :port 995 :user "USER" :authentication password :stream ssl))))
'(pop3-stream-type (quote ssl))
where I've edited out the actual user name and inserted USER (for posting).
The AT&T Yahoo email service comes with my AT&T U-Verse subscription (but dates back to Southern Bell Company and DSL).
Thunderbird has no such problem getting email from inbound.att.net. Examining its log file for a logged session with this server does not give me useful clues.
