Can receive but can't send yahoo.co.uk email

you might need to tick the box saying smtp requires authentication, i use entourage, on there there is a box to tick that and also i got ticked use the same settings as incoming mail server.

also iv got ticked smtp service requires secure connection (ssl)

i use gmail, but the 2 servers are very similar.

As far as I know, you can only send emails via a third party client (i.e Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Entourage, etc...) if you upgrade your account to Yahoo Mail Plus as we had the same problem a year or so ago.

Yahoo Plus is $11.00 per year - is it worth it? er...no. Trying to persuade my wife to go to Gmail, but alas the lady is not for turning...so:

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication)
Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com")
Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., user@yahoo.com)
Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password

This, theoretically, should work. However, we are having some major issues with Yahoo Mail at the moment even though we are using Mail Plus - can recieve but cannot send...sometimes. Why? No idea.

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication)

That should be smtp.yahoo.mail.co.uk : smtp.mail.co.uk will not work. smtp.yahoo.mail.co.uk works for me, though sometimes there can be a delay between sending and receiving (up to 20 minutes or so).
