Yep, my info is the same, I did wonder if it was something to do with the certificate I used. Indeed I'm not sure what certificate to use, Thunderbird takes care of all that apparently. Yahoo is huge and windowscentric, but I have no problem with the service, storage is unlimited and webmail can be very handy. The reason I want to use their server is my mails will be treated with more credibility by other mail servers, rather than originating from an unknown server on a private network.
