There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Error logging in. Please visit *mail.yahoo.com', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

yahoo mail

first of all, to access mail through clients require u to know the pop and smtp server names..if u know them then enter them in ur client...u said u have other yahoo accounts and they work fine...then see their settings of smtp and pop server...and copy them for ur account....

as far as i know the the server names are:
POP Server:- pop.mail.yahoo.com
SMTP Server:- smtp.mail.yahoo.com

or try this link:-

The thing is, yahoo duznt allow u to check ur mail via pop3 for free.

Try yahoo pops.

Also try checking ur email password
"Your Password was rejected."
