Dear Yahoo! Mail Plus user, We have important news for Yahoo! Mail Plus subscribers who are currently using our "POP" feature to send messages via external email clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc. (also called "SMTP access"). If you are accessing your Yahoo! Mail Plus exclusively through our Web interface, this message does not apply to you. Recently, we saw an unexpected increase in traffic through the servers dedicated to sending Yahoo! Mail Plus POP/SMTP messages. As a result, some users have experienced varying delays in the delivery of Yahoo! Mail messages sent via external email clients. We understand that this has been frustrating, and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. What Has Changed? We have recently installed new servers to improve the performance of Yahoo! Mail Plus SMTP access. We have spent the last several days upgrading our hardware and restructuring the allocation of bandwidth for these servers. We are confident these changes will resolve the recent problems and increase our system's reliability. Because of these improvements, the settings for your outgoing mail server (SMTP) should change. What Do I Need to Do? To ensure that your email client is properly configured to access the new outgoing mail servers (SMTP), please follow these brief steps: 1. Sign in to your Yahoo! Mail Plus account 2. Go to "Mail Options" --> "POP access" --> "View POP settings" 3. Review the updated settings in "POP Access Settings" 4. If needed, set your email client to the new server: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com Or follow these detailed instructions to update your Mail Plus SMTP settings: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/mailplus/pop/pop-35.html Please check the Yahoo! Mail Blog for frequent updates on this and many other Yahoo! Mail topics. We deeply value and appreciate your continued business. Thank you, John Kremer Vice President, Yahoo! Mail |
