I seriously doubt its the same issue, probably a very similar issue unless
you're using the same ISP. The same question applies, do you have an
antivirus application installed that is setup to scan your email?

Unless your error message is completely identical to the one below,
including the mail server name, there is no guarantee that your issue
has the same cause. If you would like custom help, right-click on your
error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without that complete error message.

Hi Hal,
Sorry for delay as I appreciate your help. Yes, I have McAfee security
suite. I was trying to set up Microsoft Mail when something went wrong.
Keeps popping up a LOGON box asking for User name and Password. When I type
it in it keeps saying invalid. Could I have screwed that up? The exact
message I get is:
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 'xxxxx@xxxxxx'. Subject 'Re: Welcome to
Windows Mail', Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com',
Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '530 authentication required - for help go
to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html', Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78
Oh, and it gets better. I can't post a question on the discussion board.
No dialog box appears. Only way I can communicate is via reply.
Any help is really appreciated. Just want to get this up and running so I
can move on with life. It may take a day or two before I can respond to
anything you can think of as work doesn't allow me computer access.
THANKS AGAIN, HAL

Is your Yahoo email account a free one, a paid one, or an ISP-partnered one?
US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only,
no POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not webmail.

If you have the premium (paid) service that Yahoo calls "Mail Plus", use the
special servers and settings for that service:

Your settings are good. Which antivirus do you have?
That type of problem is usually caused by interference from a non-
compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:
