  Hello ones again !
No ! I tried with that setting, and that's when I get a prompt saying 
"Unable to read" following were the values in more options section

Pager host              : scs.msg.yahoo.com
Japan pager host        : cs.yahoo.co.jp
Pager port              : 80
File transfer host      : filetransfer.msg.yahoo.com
Japan file transfer host: filetransfer.msg.yahoo.co.jp
File transfer port      : 80
Chat room list url      : http://in.insider.msg.yahoo.com/ycontent/

  With the above values I got that msg. Any other work-arounds to it?
