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.
