I think Steve means, by going to the yahoo site and logging in there, rather than setting it up to outlook, forgive me if I'm wrong, Steve.

I don't have my email account set up to outlook, I always go to the website and log in that way.

I am so tired I think I will give up for today. disabled AVG and it still wouldn't connect albeit with a different message.

I thought this would be easy!!
Thanks for those who tried to help.

Steve, I don't use AVG Firewall and use Firefox not IE. How do you mean 'log in' using IE? Sorry to be a bit thick but it is not just me OH is very pc literate and he can't see how to get round it. In fact he failed with setting up Yahoo and has got Gmail.

Windows firewall errol.

I can't stop right now but which firewall are you using?
I won't be back until about midnight so let me know if you get this sorted.

Ann also try simply logging in using IE

Hi Ann

POP3 is the language computers use to exchange emails while ports are the doorways into computers. Port 110 is the doorway on yahoos computer, known as the mail server, that holds your emails.

The problem is AVG can’t see yahoos mail server.

This almost certainly due to your firewall program blocking AVG’s access to both the mail server and the AVG update server. You’ll need to change your firewall setting to allow AVG to access the Internet.
