Firewall? - AOL client software uses (or used) a specific IP port
(5190).

A work colleague has Wanadoo ADSL. Surks the net OK, but cannot
view/retrieve his AOL or Yahoo e-mail when on-line.
Using an AOL Dial-up connection he CAN retrieve his AOL and Yahoo e-mail.
His Laptop is set-up with Wanadoo and has never had any AOL software
installed but still cannot retieve AOL and Yahoo e-mail but can cruise the
WWW ok?
Has anyone any thoughts as I am a newbie to ADSL and do not use these
service providers.

How did he retrieve AOL and Yahoo e-mail previously to getting ADSL? I
know the AOL client can run over any connection so mail can be retrieved
that way. Not sure if it has a POP service. Yahoo is webmail unless he's
paying to have POP access.

To send me an e-mail, remove TEETH

Some ISP's don't allow use of another ISP's mail service (other than
Webmail), more so with PAYG dial up, but less common with Broadband ISP's
