Re: cant send e-mail??????

US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP access.
Windows Mail does not handle webmail.
There are three possible solutions:

1. How did you access Yahoo mail before? If you are happy with
webmail via your browser, you can continue to use that.

2. Pay Yahoo to get their premium "Mail Plus" service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...iew/index.html
and use the special settings for that service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...op/pop-14.html

3. Another option is called YPOPs. It is free, but requires some technical
knowledge to implement:

Yes, that is caused by antivirus programs like McAfee and Norton.
