Unable to send or receive messages for the Frontier (kw5368) account. The connection to the server has failed.

I am receiving the error shown above whenever I select SSL for the incoming and outgoing servers. I have tried other e-mail clients (Thunderbird, emClient, Opera Mail) and receive an error stating that frontier's servers don't support SSL. Anyone have any idea how to correct this? I contacted frontier, and the tech there knew less than I do. If I de-select SSL for both of the servers, everything works fine. I did find on frontier's website that they only support SSL during login and the connection is not secure after that.

Does Frontier Yahoo! Mail support SSL?

Frontier Yahoo! Mail supports SSL 
for sign in only. Once you are signed in, the session is not conducted on a secure connection.

Thanks for any help,
