Re: yahoo mail and g mail in windows live mail desktop

If by 'procedures' you mean WLMail's automatic configuration, then the
yahoo configuration should work, but the gmail configuration gives port 25
for the outgoing server when it should be port 465 with SSL enabled
(Tools->Accounts...->Properties [button]->Advanced [tab]. See
http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/t...-settings.html for the
standard settings. Make sure 'My server requires authentication' is also
checked (Tools->Accounts...->Properties [button]->Servers [tab].
