What exactly are you having problems with?  

I've always found YAM as easy to setup as any other email client, albeit it being outdated compared to the mainstream OS's email clients.

It never gave me any difficulties installing nor on setup, assuming a person knows the proper server info to input into it, like any other email client requires.

hello
Ive open YAM  says cheaking mails @virginmedia.com than a error message 'coudn't connect to host virginmedia.com of acccount fred@virginmedia.com. The mail server did'nt respond within the predefined time frame and therefore timed out the setting as tcp/ip settings Desciprion- fred@virginmedia.com. server/port virginmedia.com. conn security SSL/TLS.Authen Plain Password User Name fred Password ******** I have put in pop3viginmedia and smtp virginmedia and tried every other setting and I still can not get it too work

Do you have AmiSSL installed?   Iirc you need all three versions installed.

@Danwood

For reference, I use YAM with AmiSSL 3.6 (25.2.2006) and OpenSSL 1.1 (24.6.2005) installed both in the same directory, to which the AmiSSL: assign is pointed (albeit not on OS4.1FE).

@atom-ant

Is pop3 access enabled on your account? Apparently pop3 access can be disabled with virginmedia accounts, although should be enabled by default.

General virginmedia settings look OK from what you posted.

I have set yam up but all I get is Could'nt intialise TLSv1/SSLv3 sssion with host 'pop3.virginmedia.com' of account fred@virginmedia.com. I have tried everthing and stiil no joy.

Never post personal info like that online. Bad form.

MY virginmedia.com account (which I don't use but does work in YAM) is set up as follows:

Server/port: pop3.virginmedia.com 995
Connection security: SSL/TLS
Authenification (sic): Plain password
Username: yourusername@virginmedia.com
Password: ********

That;s all you need, except as said you have to enable POP on the email account (through webmail).

I am with virgin but still use my blueyonder account and I use imap not pop3?

Hi, sometimes the ssl problem is at V.M's end, try changing the connection security setting to "no security" Click "use" rather than "save", this will at least confirm that your user name and password are valid from V.M's perspective.

P.S. your settings look the same as mine.

You use imap with YAM?

This is what i want, since i DO want to check mail on my X1000, but until the day comes that i can rely on my Amiga for EVERYTHING, i still use my pc, tablet, etc as main mail checking platforms and i don't want the mail marked as read or no longer new or worst case, deleted because i opened it on my Amiga.

I've disabled the "delete mail on server" option in YAM.. but only got it working with pop.

please post how to use imap if i understood you right. :-)

Ok, thanks. :-)

Anyways, i'm trying to configure YAM 2.9p1 using pop/smtp with gmail and i've tried this so far with no luck.

smtp.gmail.com
ssl/tls port 465 (also tried starttls and port 587)
plain pass (also tried login and auto)
server accepts 8 bit characters

pop.gmail.com
ssl/tls port 995
plain pass

i've selected "accept less secure clients" in google mail.

The thing is, i used YAM 2.9p1 on OS4.1 on my Sam460ex a year or so ago without issues, following a guide on how to set up YAM with gmail, but now, when i try to install and configure YAM om my X1000 with OS4.1FE, i can't get it working.

I've downloaded and installed AmiSSL 1.1, 2.2 and 3.6. I also use amicloudhandlers (dropbox and googledrive which needs the assign sslroot which was set to sys:devs/cloud/.sslroot

I put a ; in front of that line in network-startup and set sslroot to sys:devs/amissl instead, just to see if that helped.

Do i need to add some services to prefs/internet/services?

YAM 2.9p1 stopped working with my mail provider for no apparent reason, and from this thread it looks like it's stopped working with a lot of mail providers. In my case, my provider changed something on the server end and YAM doesn't like it.

The YAM nightly build worked for me, but those have expiration dates and I haven't tried to keep up to date. I'm hopeful that the next formal release will have this issue fixed.

[Shamron]

Ok, so i downloaded YAM 2.10dev and replaced the binary.

I also disabled the tooltypes user and pass, and the check for new mails at startup. The only tootlype i enabled, was debug.

For some weird reason, it works now, but using 2.10 means it will only work until a specific date....

Since i got this working, should i also be able to get 2.9p1 working?
