Solve : Microsoft Outlook 2003 and yahoo?

Answer»

I am able to email ANYONE on any other type of email account except yahoo accounts. I can receive email form yahoo accounts but I cannot send email to them. I have checked options to make sure I didn't block yahoo, but beyond that don't know why.Quote from: grandmatech on July 07, 2010, 06:55:57 PM

As a test open a new account with a different NAME. Keep both accounts. What does yahoo support say?

I have used Yahoo for years and never had the problem.

Might be a setting on your machine? System Restore to good day?Double check your SMTP server settings...Exactly what happens when you try to send mail to a Yahoo account? No problem sending to any other, i.e. non-Yahoo, account, right?

In Outlook, if you go to Tools, Account Settings, select your email account and select Change to view your account settings, and then click the Test Account Settings button, does the test pass?

Do you have a Yahoo email account? If not, you could create one and use it for testing purposes; in other words, try sending messages to your own Yahoo account. When I email anyone with a yahoo acct it comes back as undeliverable. It says message error 554. Is it POSSIBLE that my old 2003 version of outlook is being rejected and just needs updated? It passed the "test accounts".Quote from: grandmatech on July 10, 2010, 02:42:55 AM

It ACTUALLY says a good bit more than that, right? See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/186134 Does that look familiar? Please state the full wording of the error message.

No, Outlook 2003 will work fine if you have it SET up right. I just sent myself a test message from Outlook 2003 to my Yahoo! Mail account and it went without problems.

You did not answer? Do you send mail to a variety of non-Yahoo email accounts? Do you have numerous recipients with a Yahoo! Mail address or only one?

Who setup your email account in Outlook 2003? Is this a home computer? Was it working right before this started happening?
