Did not intend to confuse you
. In doing my research for this problem I found a site that directed all "Old" Bellsouth uses how to configure POP3 email for Yahoo. Some of those directions are pasted under the dotted line below. I could never quite get my account to work with that setup. I am sure I was missing a small part to it somehow.This computer is running NOW with the settings below. Keep reading ...please.
Spam is going into the Junk Email folder BUT ..... it still may not be working exactly proper. I just looked at today's "show traffic history" feature in Avast's Antispam & Blockers. It shows 0/0. Since several items landed in my Junk Email folder this morning, does this mean that Outlook is still doing the filtering instead of Avast?
I just had a recollection. This morning while trying to reconfigure the Yahoo account on
another PC here in my home I had a pop up note from Avast. I was reconfiguring my account with the same information below. That PC is running the free version of Avast and Outlook Express. The pop up told me to uncheck the SSL feature. The note said something to the effect that Avast would do that service. When I unchecked the SSL, the port number in the little box reverted back to either 25 or 110 (cannot remember which port it was).
