I have a yahoo account and I have set it up to use my yahoo account. I used
the settings that yahoo said to use and I am able to receive email, but I
can't send emails using windows mail. I don't have any problems sending
emails through the yahoo web site, just using windows mail. I have copied
the error message below...any help would be greatly appreciated.

The host 'plus.smtp.yahoo.com' could not be found. Please verify that you
have entered the server name correctly.
Subject 'Re: Shift Mgr Eval Form', Account: 'plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com',
Server: 'plus.smtp.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
 
Yahoo Plus settings ;
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465,
use authentication)

Make sure on Out-going Mail ( SMTP ), enable " This server requires secure
authentication ", or words to that effect.
Server name: you forgot the word " mail ".
SMTP port is 465, not 25.
