I've been having serious problems with Windows Mail/Yahoo. I was able to receive email but not send it and kept geting Error No.0x800CCC67.
Whilst searching around for answers I came across a thread here in PCR about a different error number relating to a similar problem of not being able to send email.The writer of the thread had been advised to change the outgoing port from 25 to 587 but had not found this to be of any help whatsoever.
Feeling that I had nothing to lose I also changed from 25 to 587 and now the sending of emails is almost instantaneous.
I felt it was worth posting this info in case anyone else has the same problem.
