Yahoo Mail Doesn't Deliver

I have a Yahoo web mail account since the ancient times. I have configured Evolution email client to fetch mail from this account since December, 2007. A little help from Freepops, a software add-in to read ftp, and my mail is in the box.

I understand that Yahoo performed some upgrades and all and now this plug-in is unable to deliver my yahoo mail. Hotmail is also performing upgrades to its services but I continue to receive my mail from them and I read all of them in my inbox using the same add-in. What's the difference? I don't know.

When performing the task, I get this messages: "getting the POP summary" and "fetching message 2 of n messages". After that I get the terminal, "failed in getting message 2 of n messages".

When I go to my browser to access my inbox, all the messages are gone and deleted. I checked the trash folder and sure enough they are all there.

I checked all settings and compared them with my hotmail account which is doing fine. I can't find anything wrong with the Yahoo settings. Unless they want me to change something with the existing settings.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it.

It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
