Why can't I send emails do to the outgoing server Port number may be wrong on my account?
-
I am trying to change my port number but my tools menu does not list Windows Vista as an option. My SM TP server does not connect and I get diagnostic problems. I can send emails and answer emails on yahoo.com., but when I try to buy something from Craigslist I cannot send the email. Please advise!! Also am I using IM-AP connections? Another message that appears is something about authentication connections. POP is a problem also at times. PLease advise asap.

Answer:
The answer to this question depends on what you want the final result to be when clicking on an email address at a web site. You can have it go to the Yahoo mail web site or you can have it go to a standalone program to access Yahoo mail. You can also keep things simple by just copying the email address at the web site and pasting it into the TO address on a new email. For example for Craigslist the address has this format: [email protected]. Just type it into the TO line. ~~~~~~~~~~ FOR THE YAHOO WEB SITE: You must understand that Yahoo is not an email program. It is an email service. The default email is normally a program. The only way to alter it to be Yahoo is with some type of add on or you can use the latest Firefox. ₪ For Firefox 3 and above Go to Yahoo Mail and select "options". Then select "Set Y! Mail as default webmail". This will only work for mailto links within Firefox. It can also be done by going to tools > options > applications. Scroll down to MAILTO and select Yahoo Mail from the dropdown menu. This is the required method for Beta. ₪ For Internet Explorer You must first download Yahoo! Toolbar from http://toolbar.yahoo.com and install it. During installation you will be asked if you want to make yahoo mail your default email. ₪ Other Option Here is a program called GmailDefaultMaker. Even though it is named Gmail it will work on Yahoo, AOL, and Hotmail. I have not tried it. It only works on sites that use the MAILTO: command. http://gmaildefault.codeplex.com/ This is another program that is supposed to be a little more advanced. http://www.affixa.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~ FOR A STANDALONE PROGRAM: In order to use a separate email program, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, or Thunderbird (see below), with Yahoo Mail you need POP3. It is also needed when using any program or right clicking on a file to directly send email. It is free in the UK, AU, and NZ but in the US you must pay for Yahoo Mail Plus. It is also required when you try to transfer the mail using smtp or pop3 to another online email. When you do you can set the servers as follows: Incoming (pop3) US - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL; Port 995 UK - pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk Use SSL; Port 995 AU and NZ - pop.mail.yahoo.com.au Use SSL; Port 995 Outgoing (smtp) US - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com Use TLS; Port 465 UK - smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk Use SSL and TLS; Port 465 AU and NZ - smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au Use SSL and TLS; Port 465 NOTE: The same servers are used for ymail and rocketmail. Use the entire email address as the Yahoo ID. There is an add on for Thunderbird that will allow many web email accounts including Yahoo without the need for POP3. Go to http://webmail.mozdev.org/ NOTE: I have not been able to get this to work. Maybe it will not work with Beta yet. If you are running Thunderbird 3 and Yahoo Beta Mail and it works, please contact me. ₪ ʎəɿʞɹɐq ₪

Clicking on the links in programs like Craigslist will cause a reply email to be automatically created in your default email PROGRAM such as Outlook or Thunderbird. Maybe you do not have an email ACCOUNT configured in your program therefore it will not go when you click Send, or the Send button may even be missing. If your email account is a FREE Yahoo account, it cannot be used in an email program. You need to upgrade to the PAID version - Yahoo Mail Plus, for this to work. Meanwhile you can use Copy & Paste to copy the email address which comes up in the Craigslist reply in the email program, and paste it into the address bar of your regular yahoo email message. If or when you upgrade, your connection will be a POP3 connection. Yahoo does not do IMAP.
