Hello
I am trying to send mail for the first time, but this error message keeps
coming.

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053, Error
Number: 0x800CCC0F

Could anyone tel me what i could do?
many thanks
 
I believe you are trying to send mails using your Yahoo Acount. In order to
use the Yahoo POP and SMTP Servers so that you can use the Windows Mail or
Microsoft Outlook, you need to pay Yahoo for the service. If suppose you have
done, then this error you get means that there is a Firewall which is
blocking the Connection. Hence try to disable the Firewall and then try and
let me know.
 
The error message you included pertains to receiving, not sending.
Can you receive email?
Can you give us the error message that happens when you send?
Which antivirus program are you using?
