The full text of the error message would be helpful. That includes the server name,
server type, port number, socket error code, SSL, etc. For best results, copy/paste the
error message rather than retyping it. You should be able to highlight the message text
in the error window (hold down the left mouse button while dragging the mouse over the
text). Then press Ctrl-C (hold down the Ctrl key while pressing the C key) to copy the
highlighted text to the Windows clipboard. You can then paste that text into the problem
description using the Ctrl-V key combination.

Errors Sending Yahoo Mail via SMTP email client
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html

Some ISPs block access to other SMTP mail servers while connected via them. (They block
TCP/IP port 25 except to their own SMTP mail server.) Some of these ISPs will make
exceptions if you present a compelling reason to do this. The error messages may indicate
network is unreachable, access denied, or timeout errors (socket errors 10051, 10061 and
10060.) Another workaround for this is to use the SMTP mail server of the service that
you connect via, but leave your other settings the same.
