Can't send E mails.

[billalansmith]

I am trying to set my Windows mail up with my yahoo but a, struggling on the
sending front.

I keep getting the following error message

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Read: Your new BT security
software: download information', Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Server:
'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket
Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Any help would be very grateful thanks

Change the SMTP server port from 25 to 587.
Also, make sure you have send authentication enabled.
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
Enable the "My server requires authentication" option.

I'm getting the same error!

You have a Yahoo UK account? If not, post the error message in its
entirety.

It appears a lot of people have the same issue, me included. Tried ports 587,
25, and 80 and none are working. Could it be a security issue (I just updated
Norton)? My message says:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject '', Account: 'mail.obriensteelconsulting.com', Server:
'smtpout.secureserver.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 80, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error
Number: 0x800CCC0F

Billalansmith, try this also. Change the outgoing server name to:
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk

The complete settings for your server are documented here:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/uk/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/pop/pop-08.html

 

[Gary VanderMolen [MVP]]

Dee, please post your own error message. There are subtle differences that
only an expert can appreciate.

 

[Gary VanderMolen [MVP]]

Your issue is not the same. For one thing, you use a different mail server
than the others.

Your server does not support the SSL option. Go to Tools, Accounts,
select that account, Properties, Advanced, then uncheck the SSL option.

Your server's complete settings are documented here:

I see. Thank you very much! This must be a recent change because it was set
that way for years. Again, thank you very much!

I have tried your suggestions below and am now getting two errors. These are


Subject 'Read: Your new BT security software: download information',
Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Protocol:
SMTP, Server Response: '250 8BITMIME', Port: 587, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server
Error: 250, Error Number: 0x800CCC7D

and

Thanks for your assistance and hope these problems may help you solve my
crisis.

You're very welcome. Thanks for reporting back.

Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Advanced,
then uncheck the SSL option (for both servers).

When you uncheck the SSL option for the incoming server, it should
automatically change its port number from 995 to 110. If it doesn't,
make that change manually.

 

[billalansmith]

Smtp set at 25

Pop3 set at 110

And...?
If you now get a different error message, post it here.

Smtp set at 25

That by itself will probably prevent the send. Yahoo wants port 587, plus
authentication.

*all* of the settings have to be correct.
