I cant send e-mails from my Yahoo account

[Chris Pooley]

I am trying to setup my Outlook 2007 to send/recieve e-mails from my Yahoo!
account.

I can recieve e-mails ok but I cant send them, not even the test e-mail
while setting the account up.

Has anyone had this problem and fixed it, or knows how to fix it?

Cheers

You can use Outlook with many Yahoo! Mail e-mail accounts. However, free Web
browser-based Yahoo! Mail accounts based in China, Taiwan, or the United
States can only be used in Outlook if you have a paid subscription Yahoo!
Mail account that includes POP3 access and forwarding.

Are you using the free yahoo mail? or the paid service?

Do you have a yahoo account that supports POP3/SMTP? What error do you get?
Did you follow the directions at yahoo?
