CAN NOT SEND OR RECEIVE MAIL USING THE WINDOWS MAIL SERVER WITH YAHOO. I GET
THIS ERROR MESSAGE
An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'AT&T Moto Q Phone - Brand New!
(Kilgore)', Account: '(e-mail address removed) MAIL ACCOUNT', Server:
'SMTP.YAHOO.COM', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '421 Cannot connect to
SMTP server 216.145.54.171 (216.145.54.171:25), connect error 10060', Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 421, Error Number: 0x800CCC67
 
US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP
access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not Yahoo webmail.
Yahoo's solution is to pay them for premium "Mail Plus" service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/overview/index.html
and use the special settings for that service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have these other
solutions that will work with Windows Mail:
* Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
* Use a free Gmail, AOL, or Hotmail/Live account.

You can also continue to use Yahoo's webmail: http://mail.yahoo.com
If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.
