Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

<paste>
Disabling email protection does not leave you vulnerable to viruses and
malicious software in email. It is a separate layer of protection in
addition to Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect scans any incoming files, including
email, as they are saved to your hard drive. As long as you keep your virus
definitions up to date with LiveUpdate, and keep Auto-Protect enabled and
set to scan files as they are created or downloaded, your system is fully
protected.

Error 0x800ccc0e, Socket Error 10061

Correct OE Settings:

If you're an SBC/Yahoo subscriber, see this page
http://help.sbcglobal.net/article.php?item=287 or this one
http://help.sbcglobal.net/article.php?item=290.

If not, see http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-06.html

The box next to Log on using Secure Password Authentication should NOT be
checked.

The My [outgoing] server requires authentication box SHOULD be checked.
