Receiving mail from Yahoo

[Gerard Seibert-2]

I am continuing to have a problem accessing my mail from one of my Yahoo
accounts. This is the error message:

* Connecting to POP3 server: pop.mail.yahoo.com...
*** SSL handshake failed
*** Connection failed.

I can send mail fine, I just cannot receive it. I have the
configuration set up exactly how it is described by Yahoo. I also have
a GMail account with a similar configuration and that works fine.

Anyone have any ideas as to how to proceed with this problem?

If there is a wrong way to do something, then someone will do it.

A complete network connection log would be useful I suspect, and a bit
more detail.

Is there an SSL certificate involved?

I just switched to Port 110 without SSL/TLS and it works. I will have
to work on this when I have more spare time.

Firewall issue perhaps?

No. I have virtually the same setup with a GMail account, and it works
fine. Even the Yahoo tech could not figure out why it was failing. It
works fine if I use another MUA, such as MS Outlook.

I will look into the matter at a future date, or maybe later today if I
get ambitious.

Testing can show the presense of bugs, but not their absence.

Obviously. As posted earlier, I am now using port 110 without SSL/TLS
to POP mail. I tied enabling all of the logging features in CM, yet I
could not get any useful info on why SSL on port 995 was not working.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get some real useful information
regarding that?

Wireshark will allow you to see the packets flowing, although not the
contents of the SSL encrypted ones.
