Cant send Messages Using Outlook & Yahoo POP3

[bluewhitts]

Hi i have recently set up outlook 03 to work with my yahoo account. I
followed the step by step guide by Microsoft shown in the link below.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook/HA011133141033.aspx

When I try to send a message It doesn't work and comes up with the following
error message. It also flashes a dialog box at me asking for my password
which is already inserted and proven to be correct.

Task 'Yahoo! Mail - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection
to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your
server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

Any ideas on the problem?

Thank you

Is this a paid Yahoo Mail Plus email account? Free Yahoo accounts cannot be
used with Outlook, only the paid Yahoo Plus accounts will work.
Instructions for a Yahoo! Mail Plus account are here:

POP Yahoo! Mail Plus with Microsoft Outlook 2002 (XP) and 2003

So what does "it just fails" mean exactly? Include EXACT and COMPLETE error
messages. State which version of the connector you installed. Describe how
you configured Outlook and your account IN DETAIL. We can't see or know what
you did until you spell it out explicitly.
