If you mean for a Live.com account, see

Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.

You hijacked a thread about a Live account . . . . Do you need help with a
Live account - or with your Yahoo account that you posted with? You should
open your own thread.

Yahoo requires a "PLUS" (paid for) account to get POP3 access - do you have
one of those? If not, you'll have to continue with webmail.

If you also have a Live account you need help with, try these:
Live.com Settings:

Server names and ports:
POP3 = pop3.live.com Port = 995
SMTP = smtp.live.com Port = 587

Checkboxes you need to check include:

Server Tab: "My server requires authentication" (Click "Settings" button
also and fill in "Log on Using" email address - *** but do NOT check the
checkboxes there . . . .)

Advanced Tab: BOTH outgoing and incoming - "This server requires a secure
connection (SSL)"

General Tab (if desired but generally recommended): "Include this account
when receiving mail or synchronizing"

Should work - if you get errors post the entire error message (cut-n-paste)
for further assistance.
