Two things: first, this newsgroup is for Office Outlook, not Outlook
Express. Ask Outlook Express questions in
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general. Second, you've incorrectly entered
your server name. it's smtp.att.yahoo.com, not smtp.att.yahoo.net. Read
the instructions you received for setting up your account.
