Vista - can't send and receive email using Windows Mail

I just bought my laptop and I can't set my yahoo account into Windows mail..
I want to use Windows mail instead of opening yahoo mail all the time.. this
is my error :
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'outlook email - ', Account: 'yahoo.com', Server:
'yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053,
Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

also is my account set-up correct ? see below :

Incoming mail (POP3) : yahoo.com
Outgoing mail (SMTP): yahoo.com

Please advise. Thank You

Check your SMTP address if correct. And your port 25 should be 587
