For anybody using 'pop.prodigy.yahoo.com', access to the server comes
with the ISP account. That is an "AT&T Yahoo! HSI", or an "AT&T Yahoo!
Dial-Up" ISP account. Access to the Yahoo! Mail servers is _included_ in
the price of the Internet service.

It works for _any_ former SBC domain. I am not paying Yahoo! squat, but
'pop.pacbell.yahoo.com' works for me.

Microsoft has this to say:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813514/

If this is an intermittent error, the Yahoo! mail servers have been
known to throw fits for AT&T (former SBC) customers.

If this is a consistent error, the first places to look would be:

Log in. Are you using your full "@prodigy.net" email address as the user
name? That is necessary for both POP3 and SMTP access.

Anti Virus email scanning. Do you have it enabled? Especially either
McAfee, or Norton? Those two are known to have conflicts with MSOE.
Disable them for email scanning; the "on-access" scanner will still
protect you.

Firewall. Are you using a third party firewall, such as ZoneAlarm? These
have outbound controls, and could be blocking access to your servers.

I've never had a former SBC domain but pop.correo.yahoo.es and
stmp.correo.yahoo.es has worked, free, since its inception as other non
..com domains. I guess Yahoo's experiment with charging for yahoo.com
email didn't work out ...

Um, 'correo' is not a domain name, that I am aware of. It certainly
wasn't ever used by SBC.

Now why did I guess that 'correo' is Spanish for 'email'? Cognency of
'correo' and 'correspondence'? Or format of the server name? I am not
all that competent with Spanish, though I know a little of the U.S.
Barrio variety. But I do have access to 'smtp.mail.yahoo.co.jp'.
Probably because most mail client applications can't handle the Japanese
characters for 'denshi', plus the 'katakana' characters for 'mail'
(romanizing as 'me-ru'). I.e., 電子メール。

Anyway, outside of the U.S.A., Yahoo! Mail service, where it has a
national Identity, uses the format, '[pop|smtp].mail.yahoo.co.cc', where
the 'cc' will be a country code, such as 'uk', 'jp', or 'es'. I guess
the 'mail' part will be the Latin characters for the national language
word in place of 'mail'. You _do_ have to subscribe to Yahoo! Delivers;
at least I did when 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com' was still free, as well as for
'smtp.mail.yahoo.co.jp'.

Nope, it means "mail".

I never subscribed to Yahoo delivers, although I did uncheck everything
that was offered. I have two yahoo.es accounts and access both with OE.

If it was working and only quit working a few hours ago I would suspect it
really is a server problem as the message suggests and I'd wait a day or two
before upsetting or changing your own settings.
