POP mail outgoing mail not working?

Have used Yahoo pop mail service to Outlook for many years and haven't had a problem. Recently upgraded to new laptop with Vista and got Yahoo working but in the last few days it has worked intermittently. Windows mail is working fine, test email with Outlook sends, can recieve email but can't send with Outlook. Settings for both Window mail and Outlook mail are the same: Your outgoing server does not support SSL secured connections.

1. Clear your cache: Close the e-mail program, Outlook or Outlook Express.

Open Internet Explorer. The icon for this program looks like this:

From the menu bar on top, click Tools, and click Internet Options...

This will open the Internet Options settings box.

At the top of this box, click Content.

In the Content screen, click Clear SSL State.

You may now reopen the e-mail program

2. If you go to Tools, Email Accounts , NEXT highlight the account in question and select Change, Advanced , have you got a check in "This server requires an encrypted connection", if yes UNCHECK it.

3. Also check Tools, Options and see if you have anything checked on the Security Tab

Hope this helps.
