Go into you Yahoo! settings and change your region from Yahoo! United States to Yahoo! Asia.

And there you have it, POP3 for Yahoo!!!

I noticed that when changing to Yahoo! Mail Asia that when changing options it goes to UK and Ireland for the POP and Forwarding setup. Not an issue just something I have noticed and points out the Yahoo! Mail is still a work in progress. I noticed this morning when logging in via my browser that cookie location have changed. I had to add more domains as session cookies this morning to log in.

I still think that eventually all locations will get POP access for free. The Philippines is, IF you have a @yahoo.com.ph account, but not if you have a @yahoo.com. Switching to Asia worked for me too. I prefer to have my location set to my actual location.

Thanks for the info.. I'll keep using and see what happens. I wonder if Yahoo will catch on, or if this is a bug in their system?

I don't think it's a bug. Setting location is so you can travel the world and log in with the same local and language. Here in the Philippines we have some different options that other locals do not have.

Really sorry for my ignorance, but where are you changing your settings at?

Please explain how to change to Yahoo Asia? Time zone under yahoo account information section?

I think it's under Account Information, member info, preferred content. Not sure though. Do you have to change any setting in Thunderbird then as well?

I've been getting the foolowing error messgae for weeks as well......

The RETR command did not succeed. Error retieving a message. Mailserver local host responded: message 1 could not be downloaded.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

That's where I changed mine. Plus don't forget to setup POP under mail options... Now when setting up my incoming and outgoing servers. It works when I used:
incoming server: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
outgoing server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com... For some reason it didn't work when I added "plus".
under outgoing server, the first box is checked. and use same settings as my incoming server. click advance, use port 995 and check the box, for ssl connection. second port is 465, and select ssl encryption.

I think it's under Account Information, member info, preferred content. Not sure though. Do you have to change any setting in Thunderbird then as well?

It's just pop.mail.yahoo.com
