    The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
    Everytime I send mail I get this message. This morning I needed to Send/Receive about 30 times for one message to be sent!

    Any ideas?
    Regards,

    Rob

    if it eventually connects, it's the correct server. it's just telling you it's busy and there are no open connections left for your request at that time.

    get a different isp that isn't as oversold in capacity?

    Check if your ISP is blocking port 25 to avoid Spamming.

    Only change the port 25 to port 587 (works with Yahoo)

    Linux _is_ user-friendly. It is not ignorant-friendly and idiot-friendly.
