Good Evening:
I'm afraid I need some help configuring Outlook Express for using YPOPS.
I've read through the help message at the beginning of this forum, yet I still have something not quite right.
At first, (and this changes as I'll explain in a minute), this is the error message that I was receiving in Outlook Express:
Unable to logon to the server using Secure Password Authentication. Account: 'YPOPS', Server: '127.0.0.1', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18
Then, as I was typing in all the specifics listed below, I noticed that I did not have checked the two boxes under incoming and outgoing mail in the advanced settings, so I checked both those boxes.
Now, I am receiving the following error message:
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'YPOPS', Server: '127.0.0.1', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
These are the settings that I have in Outlook Express so Far:
I haven't done anything with the YPOPS program yet:

I am running Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 on a Dell
Dimension 8400. with 3.2 gHz, P4 and 2 GB RAM. It has Norton
Antivirus and a firewall, tho I couldn't give you the details of the firewall.
A pc whiz I am not, and manage day to day tasks, but not any programming skills or using any of the DOS commands.
I'm sure it must be something fairly simple that I haven't checked or have
typed in wrong. I've checked a few of the messages here on this forum,
and haven't found the answer yet. A recent death in the family has my mind somewhat befuddled these days, so posting here was easier than more searching through the forum.
Can anyone help with the correct settings I should be using based on the
information I have given here, please?
Thanks for your time and thanks in advance for any responses.
