I can receive but can't send mail using my POP mail
client. Why?
If you're able to
receive but unable to send mail using your POP mail client (such as
Outlook), please review the possible trouble areas below.
SMTP Server
In the fight against unsolicited commercial email (spam), some Internet
service providers require their subscribers to send mail through the
ISP's own SMTP servers. If you experience problems sending email, please
contact your ISP to determine if it requires different SMTP server
settings. You will need to use the ISP's SMTP server in place of
Yahoo!'s SMTP server when configuring your POP mail client.
The following is a partial list of ISPs that require you to use their
SMTP servers. If your ISP is among them, try replacing the Yahoo! SMTP
server with the ISP server in your POP mail client settings, or consult
the ISP's help files. (
Learn more about configuring your client.) If your
ISP does not appear in the list below, please contact your ISP directly
for more information.

AT&T DSL support at 877-SBC-DSL5 (877-722-3755) or AT&T DIAL
support at 866-SBC-DIAL (866-722-3425).
SMTP Port
If you have adjusted your SMTP server, and you're still experiencing a
problem, you may need to use an alternate port. In an attempt to control
spam, some Internet service providers now block port 25, which means
you may need to use port 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP
server.
Learn how to change ports.
Antivirus Protection
If you have Norton AntiVirus enabled on your computer, you may have to
make configuration adjustments to use Outlook or Outlook Express. For
more information, visit the
Symantec web site.
Authentication
The Yahoo! SMTP server requires authentication.
