RESOLVED: Issues retrieving from external accounts
- Posted June 16th, 2008 at 2:13 pm by Ryan
- Categories: All-New Mail, Classic Mail, General
As I mentioned last week, we decided to rollback the recent changes to the external retrieval feature. That rollback has completed and functionality should be completely restored. However, the changes also removed the recently added SSL option, so if you have recently added an account that utilized the new SSL option, any attempts to pull those messages will be unsuccessful.
Our engineers will continue to examine the issue before attempting a future rollout of the SSL option, but in the meantime you may be able to incorporate a workable solution. If your email service requires SSL to POP messages to another service, you may be able to Forward all messages from that account instead. Depending on how frequently you check external accounts, messages can even get to you faster this way.
Also, if you want to retain the option to reply from the address of the account that is being forwarded, you can add that address and send “from” it. In fact, once you have added and verified the external address, it’s as simple as a dropdown choice in your compose window.
We are very sorry for the frustration this has caused you, and appreciate your patience.

I’m glad to see you posted the info about forwarding from a POP account. I’ve had my ISP accounts set up that way for at least 5 years now. I guess that’s why I wasn’t aware there were any issues.
I have my ISP accounts set to both forward to a Yahoo Plus AddressGuard address and to save on the ISP server. That way if I need to have a reply’s “full headers” show it came from the ISP address I just log in there to make the reply. The only disadvantage is that junk mail has to be deleted in two places. :-)

Still not working after 2 days!

But mine is not fixed — I still get Error Code 14 when I try to access external mail…
June 16th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Mine will work when using internet explorer, but still does not work when using Mozilla….Will this be addressed?
June 16th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
My accounts that I have had set up for 2 or more years are STILL not working! I am getting beyond frustrated!
July 18th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
I have started getting my comcast mail via yahoo and it worked great for about a week or so, but today (18 July 2008) it just stopped working all together. Anyone know why?
July 31st, 2008 at 11:50 am
I’m having a similar problem. Starting july 30th, I have been unable to open any messages in my regular mailbox, and unable to evenI open the Spam mailbox. How do I contact someone at Yahoo to resolve this problem?
August 5th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Hi, I have the same problem with my email (Error Code 14), does someone know the solution???
August 25th, 2008 at 8:20 pm

I’ve tried popping my yahoo account from my domain email server but was unsuccessful. After some reading I find out I have pay 20 bucks a year for Mail Plus with Yahoo just to add this feature? That is amazing how Yahoo thinks one would pay 20 bucks for this feature when they are already paying for a real email account. It’s not wonder Yahoo is not doing well these days.
June 17th, 2008 at 5:42 am
Still not working.. getting “unknown error” when using the new yahoo mail & firefox.
This has been going on two weeks now?
June 17th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Rocketmail still not working. I am missing very important emails. BAD YAHOO!!! B A D!!
June 17th, 2008 at 6:42 am
New yahoo email suddenly stopped working with the Firefox “send link” extension. All I get is a blank “compose” email page.
June 17th, 2008 at 7:39 am
I have just purchased a new VTech phone ip8300 info Phone and I am getting an error message when I try to retrive my e-mail messages from the handset that says “Service not avaible Please try again”. Service will work for a short period of time if I log into infophone.com and go to the edit part of e-mail settings and click on the agree to terms button.
June 17th, 2008 at 8:00 am
Some of my POP mail are still not coming through from the same account… that is yahoo downloads 1 mail but leaves another 4 on the external server!!! I can’t believe this is taking so much time to fix. This is really frustrating.
June 17th, 2008 at 8:32 am
IF some one knows how to check to see if a yahoo.com mail was read let me know.
thanks,
RoseAnne
June 17th, 2008 at 9:05 am
So, just to confirm, the SSL feature will eventually come back right?
June 17th, 2008 at 9:45 am
I’m using the new yahoo.mail and was still having problems today.
I resolved my problems by editing each account, and un-checking the box “retrieve new messages only”.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:39 am
I also have a rocketmail account, unfixed for 4/5 days now. Its very bad. Either yahoo fix this within a week or I change and don’t come back… and I don’t think anyone else I talk to about this will pay for this either.
Pretty poor.
June 17th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Hi I don’t understand all this computer language. My email doesn’t work at work anymore and I need it to be fixed. I am missing all sorts of important emails. Simply, how do I fix it????
June 17th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
This is definitely *not* fixed yet. I still get an the following error message:
“The following error occurred when fetching your external mail: connectionLost”
Over the past THREE weeks, I have had different variations on that same error message. “Busy”, “connectionLost”, etc…
How about another update?
thanks.

And I still often get Error Code 16, with a link to a form about Error Code 14, when I try to purge my POP server (a lot of emails at a time).
So from my perspective, the problem is not “RESOLVED”.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:45 am
same problem as of August 27, 2008
August 27th, 2008 at 9:32 am
see the work around to click edit, then select the external account and turn off retrieve new messages only, then after saving that change, again from the list of external accounts on the edit screen, click the link to check mail.
this work around worked for me for the old external account that had been working, and the new external account i was trying to set up
to yahoo programmers, work more, party less, please
June 17th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Oh, and it just “worked” the second time I tried it, except now I have two copies of each of the emails from the server, even though I do not have the “Leave mail on POP server” box checked. In fact, I have none of the boxes checked.
So, again, there are still problems here.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
1500 hours on 6/17 and still unable to retrieve Pop mail from server. Using firefox.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
his is the message I get: There was a problem!
POP server does not support LAST command. You may only retrieve POP mail from this server using “get all messages”. [Go to Mail Options]
Please tell me what the hell that means!

My rocketmail stopped receiving mail and can’t send mail out since last Thursday 6/12, it is still BROKEN!!!
June 17th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Mine is STILL not working either. Started as intermittant problem about 3 weeks ago but now constant, with error codes 5, 16(link to error code 14). My understanding is we do NOT have to upgrade to PLUS service to access external mail accounts. Is this correct? This is really frustrating. Thinking of switching to gmail but I have 5+ years worth of mail files.
June 17th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Can receive email, but *cannot* send it. It looks like several in this thread are experiencing the same thing.
This is the error I receive:
The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender’s e-mail address. see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html‘, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC78
- – -
I follow the instructions above, but it does not fix the situation.
June 17th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
I cannot get past the click here to continue button. I get a “veiled” screen over my email page. Help!!!
June 18th, 2008 at 4:08 am
I cannot access my yahoo mail. When I put in http://www.mail.yahoo.com, I get the following messsage:
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
So I haven’t been able to check my email for the past few days. Help!
June 18th, 2008 at 5:44 am
My problem seems to have started when I bought an iPhone – might be a coincidence though!
I have all my e-mails routed through to my Mac Mail account. Lately, nothing is getting through to Mac Mail even though I can see the messages on both BT Yahoo! and the iPhone. Every few days the BT Yahoo! accounts then seems to clear itself and dump the missing messages into Mac Mail. This problem seems to reflect thoss described in earlier Comments (where people have problems routing external e-mail accounts to BT Yahoo!
Any thoughts, Mr Knight?
June 18th, 2008 at 6:07 am
OK, slight correction: my external mail is still not working, still producing Error Code 14, *if* I try to get it in the normal way (which for me is to click on a Check Other Mail link in Yahoo Plus Classic.) If I click Edit to go to the Mail Accounts page and click Check Mail from there, I can successfully download my external mail, although I get a message that says “Downloaded one message…” when in fact it was a lot more than one.
So, correction: my external mail problem is kinda fixed, but not fully.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:35 am
thanks for the post, same symptoms, work around worked for me just like it worked for you
June 18th, 2008 at 7:29 am
Am I the only one that cannot access business email at all from the website? Unlike everyone else, I CAN access it from my cell phone (Palm Centro.)
I’m confused. I’m going to have to put an autoforward on the email so that if yahoo bmail is down, I’ll have an alternative.
This happened a few months ago and the trouble is back again.
June 18th, 2008 at 8:12 am
I’m sorry to see that some of you are still having problems, however it’s very likely that they are unrelated to the issues relating to the addition (and removal) of SSL.
-
That being said, it probably doesn’t matter to you that the problems are unrelated…just that you are having problems.
-
If you are still having trouble retrieving email from external accounts, please send me your examples and I’ll have some folks look into it.
-
Be sure to include the email provider you are trying to retrieve from, as well as all of the settings you are using (not password, just port, “leave messages”, filters, etc.).

Ryan, I been looking for answers to my problem everywhere, but I can’t find help.
I own two yahoo accounts, my personal account and my business account, both of them at yahoo.
Lets call them:
personal@yahoo.com
buisness@yahoo.com.mx
As I have to be always connected to my Ymess, cause all my friends and family living far away could try to reach me, that’s why I want to manage both accounts inside my personal Yahoo mail (that’s also because is really a headache to sign-out each account to check the other one
I’d like to receive mails form both accounts in my personal account so I can Check them and answer them.
I’ been trying to set it at my personal account options, but I cant find the right yahoo server so I can do it, I been trying with “pop.mail.yahoo.com” server, but it doesn’t help. I tried too: “pop.mail.yahoo.com.mx” but it didn’t work either
Can someone tell me which is the yahoo server that I have to type so I can use my both mail accounts signed in just one of them?
thanks for your help

I, too, am still getting an error message when I try to retrieve my external POP mail in Yahoo Mail Classic. I dunno if it is significant but I tried the new Yahoo Mail a few months ago and went back to Classic because the new stuff crashed Firefox constantly. I seem to recall that my POP mail worked before I switched but that could be coincidence.
As have other users, I have found a workaround. If you click on the ‘[edit]‘ link in the ‘check other email’ box and select a POP account from the list on the edit page you will see a “Check Mail” link beside the server name that is displayed for the POP account. That link works fine for me. It downloads the email into my inbox with the appropriate highlight color and everything. It’s four clicks instead of one but it works. I’ve been reading my POP mail that way for months now.

Thanks for this tip – I was getting the same errors from the “check mail” page; this tip worked for me on the account that HAD been working for years.
Yahoo mail (and all of Yahoo) is really going downhill – like MicroSoft, they keep “improving” it only to screw it up instead.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it !!!!!!
Every new version of Yahoo mail they come out with is full of bugs, and deletion of features that not only were we acustomed to, but also had the nice benefit OF WORKING !!!
June 18th, 2008 at 10:21 am
I thought the problem was with my system but my husband said it’s Yahoo’s. After getting errors I went back to the old Yahoo and still got blank pages. We use Firefox. He spent hours on Sunday setting me up with Thunderbird to get Yahoo and gmail as additional backups. For years I had no problems. We travel abroad so that’s why I use Yahoo. What a mess you caused. Fortunately I was backed up on Thunderbird which I never really used; just had to update addresses from Yahoo. If it already works, don’t fix it to make it better.
June 18th, 2008 at 10:53 am
I cannot access either my regular yahoo mail, nor can I access my secondary business account. I have been getting error code 14, 15 and 16 all day today.

I just spoke to a very freindly person at yahoo customer service (Business email). He said that only certain business email accounts are having problems and the engineers are working on it. Even my personal yahoo mail fails now and he said some of the yahoo servers are being rebooted.
So I am just going to be patient and try after a few hours and see
June 18th, 2008 at 11:49 am
I fixed by removing the accounts and then re-adding them. But a Bug has emerged.
Every time I check all mail, it keeps refetching the POP emails it already downloaded and adds them as duplicates. The “Get New Messages” option doesn’t work with Hostgator.
June 18th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
I can access my yahoo mail, but I have yahoo business mail that I can not access. This is a problem that started today (about 5 hours ago). I can not set up forwarding for my yahoo business account. Please advise. Dan B.
June 18th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
My problems are now completely resolved (2 PM Pacific standard time). I can access both my personal and business email accounts.
(I just waited a couple of hours and tried; so this means yahoo people were working on it)
Thanks for all the comments, helps to know I was not the only one out there with a weird problem!
June 18th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
I am having a problem with Yahoo Chat inside my Yahoo mail.
People can see me on line (Available) and when I write to them they can see my messages, however when they try to respond their chat (MSN) shows a message that the could not be delivered.
Somebody please can let know if this is an user Setup problem or it is a Yahoo problem that Engineers are working on.
Thanks for your time
June 18th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Adding something else to my previous e-mail, I just noticed that I can see Chat messages that were sent when I signed out. They appear like “Offline Messages” like they usually do. People can not send me but just when I am online.
I will be waiting any comments
June 18th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Cannot retrieve my mail from either BTYahoo or my Hotmail accounts. Started Thursday 17th (pm) and continued all day yesterday – lost internet connection altogether later on 18th but that appeared to be a localised BT problem.
Can use MSN Instant Messenger and open the page for my inbox but no messages appear.
Help!!!!!
June 18th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
A bit frustrating to see RESOLVED communication go out when nothing is working for me – can’t access my Yahoo mail for 2 days now, page keeps loading with message flashing ‘trying to access uk.mg1.mail.yahoo.com’. Things happen and I wish you good luck in solving this, but in the meantime where can I find accurate status updates ?
June 19th, 2008 at 1:26 am
Unable to retrieve emails from our Yahoo business mail account, since last week.
Error Message:
“Attempting to connect to mail server…POP3 connect() – Error: Can’t connect to Server. Error: 13 — Permission denied”
Our PHP email retrieval program is the same as ever, and we are using the following:
Server: pop.bizmail.yahoo.com
Port: 995
We have also tried:
Server: ssl://pop.bizmail.yahoo.com
Port: 995
We have also tried:
Server: pop.bizmail.yahoo.com
Port: 110
Still the same error. Thanks in advance for your help and pointers.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:40 am
Having had an excruciatingly frustrating day on Tuesday being unable to download email to my btyahoo plus account POP during an important business negotiation…. the problem righted itself on Wednesday (no doubt with a lot of work by your engineers) but will still not let me send email. I get :
Quote
The server does not support a SSL connection.
Subject ”
Server Error: 250
Server Response: 250 8BITMIME
Server: ‘mail.btinternet.com’
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC7D
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): Yes
Unquote
Could you please advise me what I can do? There are references in other messages to ‘SSL’ but I regret my ignorance (and I dare say other people are in the same boat) prevents me from understanding how to deal with this problem. I am using Windows Live Mail because for some reason Outlook Express is no longer able to download email at all. Thanks for any help!!
June 19th, 2008 at 7:33 am
I know this is off topic….
When and how will the new email domains be available?
ymail.com and rocketmail.com and will they have some of the same issues we have been running into with yahoo.com pop/smtp?
June 19th, 2008 at 5:30 pm

I can access my account through Internet Explorer. However, it often locks up. Help!

I still cannot retrieve my external e-mails from Yahoo. I don’t believe the problem has been resolved unless we have to re-enter all the POP information. Please provide updated information.
Thanks.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Rayan HELP!! Still having the same problem, If I send a email to yahoo they are just going to put me through hoops again. My one pop I get error 14 still and the other I get bad user name or password it’s all been confirmed when I fowarded both pop’s . I do get my foward mail but for my Verizon acct I can only get it through Yahoo?
THANKS!!!!

June 20th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Please help. I know you guys have claimed to have this “resolved”, but it’s not. What is really odd is my husband and I both have accounts w/ yahoo & both pull our mail for our business from the same server. He can get his (and always could), but I have not been able to since the original upgrade was done to yahoo a few weeks ago. I really do need to get my mail. I still get the same error code 14. It worked fine before and nothing has changed on my end.

Does not work for me. I still get error 14.
The notion of forwarding email from my ISP is cute. They won’t allow me to forward to Yahoo! because they are afraid you will regard such activity as spamming.
June 23rd, 2008 at 6:34 am
“If your email service requires SSL to POP messages to another service, you may be able to Forward all messages from that account instead.”
That’s not a solution for those of us for whom the secondary mailbox is shared. In my organization, we are paying Yahoo! for multiple mailboxes and we each have a personal mailbox plus a shared one. It was bad enough that the Yahoo! web client doesn’t filter previously retreived messages; now we can’t get any at all from another Yahoo! account.
Who was the Yahoo! genius who decided to require SSL for access to Yahoo! accounts without providing a way for Yahoo! subscribers to retreive mail from one account into another?
June 23rd, 2008 at 7:43 am
This isn’t fixed for me. Now I get this error:
POP server does not support LAST command. You may only retrieve POP mail from this server using “get all messages”.
Yahoo! up to a week or so ago used to be able to get the messages from the server. And Outlook Express can still retrieve them.
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Same problems! After reading these postings, figured out that if I left mail on server, I could usually get my external mail. But now I get the same messages over and over! If I don’t leave msgs on server, I get the “POP server does not support LAST command.” Will someone PLEASE provide us with an update??? The last response I see was on June 18th. Ryan requested that we send specific info regarding problems. Where do I send that – Here?
June 24th, 2008 at 2:18 am
Please someone a Yahoo help us!! It is amazing that there are so many problems with email at the moment…I have now lost my business email totally AGAIN and am getting the following error message:
Unable to send or receive messages for the Btinternet (******) account. An unknown error has occurred.
Server: ‘mail.btinternet.com’
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0×80004005
Protocol: POP3

Like many others I pay a monthly fee for BTYAHOO ‘mail plus’ so really we should at least be treated to feedback and advice as how to solve this problem. What on earth is going on!!
June 24th, 2008 at 9:13 am
I am still having problems accessing my emails from my POP Account on my Mac. I am able to read them on yahoo but it does not import my mail. I have had my IT guy check it out and he is telling me there is nothing he can do about it because it is a malfunction with Yahoo! Please let me know when this will be fixed, I have an office full of people of which half of them cannot access their mail.

How do I check my ymail account from my original yahoo account. I know I can add 1 email address for free but I don’t know the incoming server name for my ymail account. Can anyone help?
Thanks
June 24th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Noelle/Basil…so good to know that I am not alone! Having uninstalled my anti virus, spent hours trying microsoft ‘fixes’, replacing Outlook with Windows Live Mail… all to no avail, it is reassuring that your ‘IT guy’ has come to the same conclusion, which I have to say , on reading these pages seems, in retrospect, obvious, that the problem lies with Yahoo! What is so disappointing is that for days there has been no further update from the company. Frankly I am at my wits end…I too have a business dependent on email. It is all very worrying.
June 28th, 2008 at 8:03 am
It’s disheartning that there is no reply from Yahoo, that the problem has NOT been resoved!
What gives? At least confirm there is still a problem and Yahoo is working on it.
June 28th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Help, I’m running out of time. My old email is closing and I need to get everything off of it.
This has already cost me many many hours of wasted attempts because your site does not have a SINGLE ONE LINE MESSAGE that the feature is turned off. How hard is ONE LINE? to save hundreds of people dozens of hours each!
June 30th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Having tried EVERYTHING I could think of with no thanks to or help from Yahoo!, I have found a solution: BACK UP your old emails, DELETE your current account, CREATE a new email address, CREATE an alias with your old address to forward to new account…Unfortunately, this is the only way I could get my emails to start coming in again. I hope this helps those out there who are still waiting on the brains at Yahoo! to come through..

Nothing helps me to stop yahoo to check my external account
I did what is required to remove it
But Yahoo still pops it
The only thing left is remove my yahoo account at all
But I’m afraid Yahoo will not stop it even than

This is still broken. I can only check my email by using SquirrelMail provided by my external host directly or by using classic Y! mail and manually clicking the link. AJAX Y! mail still can’t check POP mail. Can we get an update about this? I’ve replied about 5 different times to a support request to Y! already without resolution.

Simple Answer. They are datamining, and uploading all data to the Pentagon.

I’ve been having problems now for about 2 weeks.
I can send mail from my Mac mail account (I’m with BT).
But I can’t receive mail despite numerous combinations of settings.
I can access web mail on the BT/Yahoo web but this is also
intermittent – most times I can’t even get to the mail.
I can however receive email via my mobile phone from BT.
If someone could post settings for a Mac mail account that would be very useful.

I too have lost the ability to receive email through Mac Mail. Like the others who posted above, I can see all my email from the Yahoo webmail, including email forwarded from my Gmail account. Grrrrr! This is very frustrating. When is it going to be fixed????

Hi,
I just checked my server, and for some reason, every 2-3 minutes Yahoo is hitting my server, downloading mail. Since I have a setting to not delete e-mail from the server, I now have 861 messages, most of them duplicates!
Does anyone know why Yahoo is hitting my server every 2-3 minutes??

I’m getting an error message, “Last Unsupported” every time I try to check my POP3 external email accounts. Started on July 18 between 11pm-2am MDT. Yahoo says it’s my email host, not them, but I can still get the emails at my gmail account. Anyone else seeing this problem?

When is the problem with authentication going to be fixed? I can no longer pull mail from one Yahoo account to another. Either fix it or eliminate the requirement for Yahoo accounts

I Haven’t been able to retrieve mail since last Thursday

We have been unable to retrieve mail from our other account since Thursday 7th August. Have just spent £40 today getting someone to check computer to find that the fault is Yahoo’s.

I also got the error message when trying to retrieve external messages. I resolved the problem by first deleting the account and reinstalling it again.
Hope this helps you too!

I use a mac. My pop email account at mail. btinternet.com ( hosted by yahoo) will send but not receive. – Repeatedly asks for my password. The webmail service works. I called tech support- put through to an idiot who persuaded me to delete the email account therefore deleting all the archived smails from the last 5 years. – Aarch… But no improvement. New email account had same problem.

I have been trying to read email all day; I get error code 14 over and over and even 15 and 16?!?!? What do I do? I already sent an error report.
