I have a new HP Touch Smart desktop..runs Vista. My ISP is AT&T Yahoo. My
mail program is set up with AT& T pop settings and my email address is linked
to this account. This mail account works fine.
I recently attempted to send a link from IE...much to my surprise, windows
Mail opened...downloaded everything that was in my yahoo mail account but
would not allow me to send the link. Error message:
The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.
The rejected e-mail address was ''. Subject 'RockBuilt
Lofts', Account: 'Yahoo Mail', Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP,
Server Response: '530 authentication required - for help go to
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/sbc/ds...op/pop-11.html', Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78
I've done all I can to correct this...just can't do it. What am I missing?
Of note also..I downloaded Windows Mail live at some point during my
frustration because it refered to being able to link all email
accounts...well, that didn't happen so I probably messed that up as well.
nothing like a new computer to make you want the old one back!!
