Oh has just ordered an XDA Orbit from O2 and now needs to start using outlook/outlook express rather than incredimail. Unfortunately I have now spent all morning trying to configure Outlook and Outlook Express without success. We can receive messages without a problem and despite manually setting up the account it refuses to send any yahoo emails. When manually configuring in outlook there is a "test" button which sends and receives perfectly well but the moment I go back into the program it refuses to send. I have also tried using port 587 as suggested by yahoo but this does not help at all.

Any suggestions please?:rolleyes:

    That's what I suspected and was why I asked. :D
