Running windows vista ultimate. A problem with Windows Mail?

[copas]

I recently was given a new email address and  also Yahoo mail. I changed the settings in windows mail and can now receive mail but not send.
I'm pretty confident I have the settings correct forYahoo servers.
Where did I go wrong?

What error message do you get?
I will assume the issue is with  your  Internet Service Provider.
In that case, probable probe is this:
Sending requires SMTP protocol. You have it, but your ISP will not allow it. it is a real PITA. The SMTP is use by a local email client to send messages. The ISP blocks it.
Soluition:
Talk to your ISP people.  Ask then to allow you SMTP.
 If the will not give permission lo use SMTP, you will have to use a web-based email. Sometimes that is the only recourse.

BTW: This is a problem also for laptop and mobile users. When you go mobile the service  provider has to allow you to send messages, but only using address recognized as belonging to you and with  protocol for mobile devices.

My provider called me this afternoon(judge if this was oppertune). They were checking on how I was getting along with my new connection.
I described my problem, he took control of my puter, (I heard a lot of keys clicking) Now my puter seems it's old self again. I never learned what was amiss. May have been just what you suspected.

Thanks so much for you response!

Keep up the good work!

Do you have a paid Yahoo Mail account?  The free accounts will not work with email clients such as Windows Mail.

Thanks for youir reply.

I finally figured out that I needed a paid verson of Yahoo before I could do what I wanted.
I have returned to Windows mail and it is working well.

By the way; Yahoo free mail has an annoying ad panel I can do without.

Thanks for the help.
Keep up the good work.
