This is the message that I keep getting in trying to set up my yahoo account
to my Windows Mail.

The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

The rejected e-mail address was '(e-mail address removed)'. Subject 'Fw: Welcome
to Windows Mail', Account: 'plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server:
'plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '530
authentication required - "for help go to
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html"', Port: 465, Secure(SSL):
Yes, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

Assuming you have a paid ("Mail Plus") Yahoo account, do the following:
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
The box for "My server requires authentication" must be checked.
