How do I stop getting this email warning?

send securely
Amy A asked:

I am receiving the following email at least twice a day from Yahoo. It is because I get email through my Palm Treo. I have no idea how to set it up so that I no longer get this warning. This has been happening for at least 6 months.

“We noticed that you are accessing email using non-secure settings in your email software.

We would like to ensure that your AT&T Yahoo! Member ID, password, and email messages are transmitted securely between your mail software (such as Outlook or Outlook Express) and the AT&T Yahoo! Mail servers. In order to meet this need, please enable SSL via the instructions that are available on the Help site.

Since multiple email notifications have already been sent out about this, we request that you please make the necessary changes immediately. Remember, you need to make these changes if you want to continue to send/receive email using a mail client.

Thank you for your cooperation,

AT&T Yahoo! Customer Support”

    I would read the manual or contact Palm and ask how to make the settings. It is probably a simple check mark in the account setup.

    Even though you use Yahoo as your e-mail client, it sounds like there is another e-mail client default on your Palm. Did it come with Outlook, or something similar? Even though you don’t use that client, go into the security settings and set up SSL, or look for an option to enhance security. Just keep playing with settings until it’s fixed. If it still doesn’t work, I would contact Palm. The weird thing is that I couldn’t find ANY info in Yahoo Help related to this problem…
