I have a custom domain hosted by Yahoo on their servers (pop.bizmail.yahoo.com and smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com). I set up Outlook (not Windows Live) to retrieve and send e-mails through that custom domain. This worked fine for many months, then suddenly.... Just stopped (works intermittently, but less and less).
The way I set it up is as follows:
1. My primary alias on Outlook was an e-mail address on my custom domain
2. A send/receive account was set up for that same custom e-mail address, using the pop/smtp server settings provided by Yahoo
As I said, this worked fine for many months, and then just stopped, with an error message saying "we were unable to sign in to your pop server, please make sure your username and password are correct" (which they were).
I have tried setting up a different primary alias (i.e. -- a *** Email address is removed for privacy *** address) and then removing and re-adding the custom address as a new send/receive account - but I still get the same error, and now Outlook won't add the new account.
I am now able to SEND mails through Outlook using my custom domain (i.e., using my custom address as an alias), but completely unable to retrieve mails. Repeated attempts to set up the custom account again as a send/receive account are unsuccessful - Outlook simply appears unable to see and talk to Yahoo's servers, I keep getting the same error message (as above).
Please note:
1. The pop/smtp settings, ports etc. are correct - exactly as provided by Yahoo, and the same as what was working for months before the current problem arose.
2. My username and password have been correctly entered (repeatedly!).
3. I travel a lot, and am often in different time zones around the world - I never change the local time on my computer. I am wondering whether the problem may be due to:
a. Time differences or mismatches creating sync problems
b. Connections through servers in different countries creating the problem
Can anyone help? I just want Outlook to talk to Yahoo and get me my mails!!!!
Thanks!! :-)
The only way I found out that my hotmail account had been switched over to Outlook.com is when Facebook informed me that my e-mail address was no longer valid!!!
Only when I tried to go to my Hotmail account to see what was going on, it wouldn't accept my password and I had to re-set it. When I eventually got in, I found out that my account had been automatically switched to Outlook.com and my Inbox was empty and all of my folders were gone!!!! Ten years worth of e-mails and folders!!!! GONE!!! GONE!!! GONE!!! No e-mails, no contacts, no folders, all gone!!!
Major fail Microsoft!!! Just like Windows 8, major fail!!!
The categories offered below for this question don't match. I just can't find info any where else.
Thanks!
Hello,
My email has been hacked by someone who is claiming to be me. He was able to log in to my personal account in the embassy and change my personal information because it is linked to my Hotmail account.
He also emailed my threating me to not to change my password!!!!
I was able to get my email back from him, but he changed the security information (other email associated with this account, and a phone number). I was not able to change this information to assure that he cannot reset my password and log in to my account.
Can anyone help me with this?
Also, he deleted ALL my emails.
Is there any possible way to have them back?
I would REALLY appreciate any help and advises on this here.
And would I ever be able to communicate with HOTMAIL directly to resolve this?
I have Live Mail on Dell Inspiron all-in-one. Suddenly won't work and I get the message....
"The program can't start because WLDCore.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
Just getting this far is an accomplishment for me. I would appreciate some help to understand what has happened, and guidance on sorting it out.
Terry
