You're using incorrect port and SSL settings for Gmail.
For sending, use port 465 (instead of 25), with the SSL option enabled.
Be sure to follow all the settings given in the instructions:

Gary,.
UGGHHHH. I really appreciate your help. I took your advice and set up a
Gmail account. Nope, that didn't happen. Tried to send an email thinking it
was set up and this is the message I got:
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 'XXXXXX@xxxxxxxxx'. Subject 'test send',
Account: 'pop.gmail.com', Server: 'smtp.gmail.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server
Response: '530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. m73sm1126699rnd.0',
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78
I checked the smtp. I have it as smtp.gmail.com That is what is in the
directions. Any idea what to do??? I am sooo close to getting this done.
Thank you for your help, Gary. It's like Star Wars. "Obie one, you are my
only help"

You can keep using your Yahoo email address via webmail, using your
browser. If you want to use a desktop email program like Windows Mail,
pay Yahoo to get their premium "Mail Plus" service:

and use the special settings for that service:

Alternatively, get a free email account from Gmail: http://gmail.com
and set that up in Windows Mail:

Thanks Gary. That did help. I have wireless internet access via my
roommates modem. They have a Verizon account with their desktop and laptop
so I give them $20 a month. Very economical. I was obviously naive thinking
I could just get a Yahoo email address, start up Mail, set up my contact
list, and be done.
What would you suggest? Let's assume using Mail as my email program and
keeping my Yahoo email address (one thing I did right. I haven't given
anyone my email address until I make sure I can use it). And don't heistate
to explain it to me as you would a ten year old.
And again, thank you for your time!

Just paying for computer hardware and software does not get you a
connection to the Internet. Windows Mail is simply a piece of software,
it does not provide entitlement to connection service.
Your ISP (Internet service provider) is the company who provides
your connection to the Internet. Typically this can be a slow dial-up
connection, or a much faster broadband connection from your cable company
(Comcast, RoadRunner, etc.) or a DSL connection from your telephone
company (Verizon, AT&T/SBC). When you signed up for Internet service,
they should have given you an email address.
Yahoo's Mail Plus service works fine, but all it does is give you an email
address and the right to use their mail servers. It does not give you a
connection to the Internet. I don't want you to pay Yahoo $20 per year
for something that you may already be entitled to through your ISP for no
added cost.

Hi Gary,
O.K. as choices are good. Some questions:
What is an ISP? Where would I find my assigned email address? I purchased
this with '07 Vista Home and Student with Microsoft Mail. Is Microsoft Mail
my ISP?
Paying $20 per year is not a huge issue. Just want to make sure it will
work. Also, can I access email from another computer using Mail, Yahoo, or
both?
Thanks again, Gary. I work crazy hours but I will be responding back as I
want to get this done. Thanks again, Gary!!!

Well, you have four choices:
a) Continue to use your free Yahoo account, but only through a web browser.
or
b) Pay Yahoo $20 per year, which gets you their premium Mail Plus service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/overview/index.html
or
c) Switch to a different email address by getting a free Gmail account:
http://gmail.com.
or
d) Who is your ISP? You can use your ISP-provided email address.

Hi Gary,
Yes, it's a free, U.S. based account. What should I do next?? I kinda like
the email address I created (even I can remember it!!) but I can begin again
if that is the best bet. Most important issue: Need to get Mail setup right
the first time.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

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:

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@xxxxxxxxx'. 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.
