Setting up Windows Mail using my Yahoo ID but receiving error mess

I have tried to set up my email account on Windows Mail but when I tried to
send a test email the error below keeps popping up. Could somebody tell me
how to fix it?

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'Hi Mojo ', Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com.au', Server:
'smtp.mail.yahoo.com.au', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, Secure(SSL): No, Socket
Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

Thankyou

Hi, check all your settings for those set out here: (WM is same as OE)
http://help.yahoo.com/l/au/yahoo7/ma...op/pop-08.html

See point 21 especially, since that is one obvious problem highlighted in
the error message.

Ensure that your Outbox is empty, delete any messages from it, or move them
to the Drafts Folder.

Send a test message to yourself.

When the log on box appears in WM requesting PW & UN always click cancel,
never OK.
Or WM wipes the settings.

Only ever enter your detail at tools>accounts etc, and as I say always
cancel the request pop up.

Get back with any error message.
