Don't go changing the server name. You have the correct server name.

It looks like your Internet connection was not being obtained from
PGHconnect at the moment you got that error. Were you using the
laptop away from home at a Wi-Fi hotspot?
Let me know the circumstances, and I can help you.

Note: For new users here, I recommend you take advice only from the
regular responders.

Marv, in the future please start your own thread instead of hijacking
someone else's.
Your error message shows two mistakes:
The outgoing server name should be smtp.att.yahoo.com.
Also, you must enable the SSL option: Go to Tools, Accounts, select
that account, Properties, Advanced, then check the SSL option
(two places).
