SSL not working with Outlook 2000

MS Outlook 2000 SP-3 works fine until I try to use SSL, when I get the
following Error message -- Unable to connect to the server. (Account:
'pop.att.yahoo.com', POP3 Server: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Error Number:
0x800ccc0e'
The port numbers I'm using for SSL are: 465 for outgoing and 995 for
incoming.
Any suggestions?

A few questions...

- Are you in the U.S.? If so, are you paying for your Yahoo account? Free
Yahoo accounts can't be POP3ed into Outlook in the U.S. without a 3rd party
utility.
- Are you sure you need SSL enabled?

Yes, I am in the U.S. and I'm paying AT&T for the yahoo account. AT&T has
notified me "about some important security improvements we're making to your
AT&T Yahoo! service." which requires Outlook to be SSL enabled.
Thank you for your interest and I look forward to advice/suggestions.
