Solved: Problems with outlook and yahoo

[rayray092684]

when I try to send mail with outlook via my yahoo account I get an error:

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I can check incomming mail but can't send outgoing. What do I do?

Hi

I'm afraid I'm not an expert on this so I THINK it may be a port problem that could be caused by anti-virus or firewall software. Have a look at your firewall or virus settings and make sure they will allow messages.
