Recently I have been changed over to a new service provider and ever since then I can no longer send any email to my POP YAHOO email server. The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com.au', Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10051, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E Incoming mail works fine for yahoo and I can send/recieve emails fine from my new service providers email server. But I can no longer send email to my yahoo email account, which worked perfectly berore the switchover and no settings have been changed at all. Running a broadband 3 in 1 router and this happens on all three computers connected to the internet. Please help avice on what to do. Greg

for outgoing mail you can use ANY smtp server u like ... try the following smtp server: mail2.eircom.net and see if the problem persists. Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

You cant use ANY mail server for out going email. If you are connecting to yahoo's mail server with an IP address that does not belong to them they will refuse the connection. Otherwise it would be completely impossible to control Spam. Change the out-going mail server on the yahoo account to that of you new ISP and you should be fine.

Or for the SMTP server address, when connected to Broadband, you can simply put... mail Krystyna Be daring and be adventurous...the only things in life you'll regret, are the risks you didn't take !
