The host 'yahoo' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly.
Subject 'Vendor Request', Account: 'yahoo', Server: 'yahoo', Protocol:
SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number:
0x800CCC0D

That's because "yahoo" is not the correct server name.
the free US accounts do not have POP access.
If you have a premium account, and access to POP mail, then look here...

'yahoo' is not a valid server name. See my other answer for more
information.
