Vista - Error sending e-mail from my premium Yahoo account with Live mail

I have three e-mail accounts that I recieve and send e-mails through Live
Mail. Everything was working great until a couple of weeks ago and now I'm
having a problem with sending e-mails from my Yahoo account (it is a premium
account). I receive the following message:

The connection to the server has failed.

Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocal: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10060

Please advise as quickly as possible.

Thanks, B

That error is symptomatic of an isp blocking another email service's use of port 25.

Try changing your smtp settings for the Yahoo account to use your isp's outgoing server settings(port, username, password,
authentication, SSL etc).

You are using the wrong settings for Yahoo.

You should be using Port 465 with SSL and My outgoing servers requires
authentication.

Set on the Servers and Advanced tabs of the account..

You should be using the settings for a Yahoo 'Mail Plus' account:

I concur with '...winstion'; that sounds like you've had your outbound port
25 access blocked. That is a growing action taken by ISPs to contain spam
being sent from compromised customer computers directly to gateway mail
servers.

Change to port 465, and use SSL. You also have to configure WLM for, "My
server requires authentication".

Yes...the earlier and original settings using port 110/25 still work for Yahoo Plus accounts where port 25 is not being blocked.
I've a Yahoo Plus on this drive running in OL03 that was setup a very long time ago, and it still functions.

Though the preferred is to reconfigure the entire account to current Yahoo recommendation:
