Why do my emails not sending right?

Sending Email in Outlook XP with Mail Plus?

• I am unable to send emails using Microsoft Outlook XP(2002). I have purchased the Mail Plus from Yahoo. I have knowledge of POP settings and they are set up right. I am able to receive emails but can not send it. When I test the settings it shows an error. It tells me to check the email? The email is correct and the advanced settings are checked with the correct outgoing number. When I try to send a email from outlook it will not send. I have deleted all the outgoing emails and try to hit send/receive. When this happens the incoming come in. Then it gets held up on the outgoing telling me it is sending 0 of 10 emails. There are no emails I am trying to send. How do I clear this message or resolve the problem. Your help is appreciated.
