Send/receive function in outlook is successfully receiving emails from
yahoo
mail but emails in the outlook outbox are not being sent out.

How do YOU know that the message are not getting sent out? Is the ONLY
information that you have is that they are still in the Outbox? Or do you
actually get an error message telling about a failure to send?

Are you using a freebie or paid Yahoo Mail account? If a freebie account,
is it in a Yahoo domain that still permits free access to their POP3 and
SMTP servers, or are you using a Yahoo domain that requires you to pay to
access their mail servers?

I too am having the same problem. I am using Outlook 2000 and have two email
addresses connected to it. One is my work email address which I have no
problems sending and receiving mail. The other is a paid subscription to
Yahoo mail. Since I can't have two .pst files because Yahoo uses POP3, I
created a rule that forwards my yahoo mail to a separate inbox folder.
Anything I send from my yahoo account just sits in my outbox. When I click
on Send/Receive, it shows an error message 'unable to connect to server'. I
contacted Yahoo to verify I had the correct server info and I do. They then
advised me to contact MS.

Enable diagnostic logging and see if the problem is evident in the log. If
you can't figure out the log, post it here.
