The port has changed from 110 to 995 (took a fair bit to find the info), so you need to alter the account connection properties. port 995 and .co.uk was good this morning

Thanks i may be making some progress, its now timing out (the message about server not responded for 60 seconds warning) rather than failing to connect but still no mail, has anything else changed i read something somewhere about security settings but it wasnt clear what they were talking about

Ah got it need to tick this server requires secure connection (SSL) in advanced tab

Thanks for your hhelp

So just to recap in case others are struggling with this still as the info is damn hard to find online.
In outlook express
on account settings advanced tab
change incoming port from 110 to 995
and tick the box for This server requires a secure connection (SSL) for both incoming and outgoing

not sure about other mail programs

It's not difficult to find if you look in the correct place e.g. here

Note that the servers should now be set to .com

hmmm...never used the mail web-based, and that page didn't come up from a google search when I looked. Also, the .com/.co.uk issue is less than clear - .com wasn't working for me, but .co.uk is.....

I notice yahoo mail servers never automatically pulls email from externally configured pop accounts, unless you manually click it.

Their mail service is a struggle just as Marissa Mayer is.
