Yahoo on OE6

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi

In the UK, I am trying to set up Outlook Express 6, to handle my
Yahoo
basic web mail. I use BTInternet as my ISP. I have followed the on
screen instructions from yahoo to set up the account as follows:


SMTP:


smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk


POP3


pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk


In the username I put my firstname.surname and enter the password. I
tick the relevant boxes that I am advised to in the settings.


Once this is all set up it doesnt connect to the outgoing server. So
I
changed it to the btinternet smtp settings, then I get the box to
keep
entering my password which I do. It works on another machine
perfectly
with virginmedia as the ISP but not on this pc running btinternet.


Any ideas?
