and settings from my Yahoo account. I can receive maill in Windows Live from
Yahoo with no problem. When I try to send a message from Windows Live, I get
an error message that says:
The host 'plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com ' could not be found. Please verify that
you have entered the server name correctly.
Subject 'test'
Server: 'plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com '
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0D
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 465
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 11004
I have double checked my settings and verified that they are correct (3
times).
What else should I try.
Ron Sommer
Use SSL
Port: 465
Use authentication
Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the
"@yahoo.com", for example, “testing80”)
Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (for example, test...@yahoo.com)
Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password
What authentication setting are you using?

settings as the incoming mail server. The incoming mail server has three
options: 1. clear text 2. secure password 3. authenticated POP (APOP). I
have currently checked "clear text." Is another setting correct?

Have you tried Port 587 for SMTP?
OE & WLM are virtually the same regarding settings.

On the server tab of your account>properties
Try removing the space from the end of 'plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com ' so that
it is like this 'plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com'
Put your cursor to the end of the sever name and backspace to remove it.
