I receive mail with Microsoft mail and cannot send mail with Microsoft mail.
I receive the following error:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: Love, Hugs, and
Prayers', Account: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com',
Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10061, Error
Number: 0x800CCC0E
 
Your settings are correct.

That type of problem is often caused by interference from
a non-compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

If turning off the email scanning function does not resolve your problem,
consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to
suffering bad effects from overly aggressive antivirus programs.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
explained here:
