every time i try to send an e-mail the following error message comes up:The
host 'yahoo' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly.
Subject 'Emailing: 777, 779, 790, 792, 797, 798, 803, 804, 806, 812',
Account: 'http', Server: 'yahoo', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
 
"Yahoo" is not a valid server name. However, the problem goes deeper.
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.
