Perhaps there is something wrong with your yahoo Id or your Password.
That is the first thing I would check.

But when i try to enter my mail account through yahoo s website nothing go wrong with the same id and password...maybe something about firewall but i dun know how to handle it

With the authentication error, perhaps you need to encode (base 64) usernameassword.

wow, you ppl are completley missing the point

the error means the program has done closesocket() after the first connect, then after any further attempts, the program creates the socket(), but does not connect() the socket, or the connect failed before he send()s data.. so for some reason any further conencts are not being initiated

I am afraid there is something else wrong.

Does a Yahoo Mailbox support POP3?

I am afraid it does not.

try once with one of the examples of c++builder, there is an example of a pop3client. But i'm also pretty sure that yahoo does not have a pop3 server. Accessing through the website is quit different from accessing through pop3. Wim Vanherp

Check if your mailbox is working with a regular Pop3-Client like Outlook Express.

If you can make your mailbox working, then you should check your software.
