Ok, I tried searching the forum first... apologies, couldn't find an answer so here I go:
Server Address: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
From Address: I typed here my yahoo address
SMTP Server Requires Authentication: Checked
User Name: I typed here my yahoo address, including the @yahoo.com
Password: I typed here my password to access Yahoo email on the web... (I do not use any local client, I always use Yahoo Mail on the web)
Then on the Alerts section I added my email account (I typed there my yahoo address, including the @yahoo.com).
Tried the "Test" and all I get is a message, in Spanish, that says: "Se ha forzado la interrupción de una conexión existente por el host remoto" (which translates to something like: an interruption has been forced in an existent connection by the remote host).
I am tired, have tried like a thousand times and can not get it to work.
LET ME CLARIFY THAT I HAVE USED EXACTLY THE SAME SETUP FOR EMAIL ALERTS IN ANOTHER PROGRAM (ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE) AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY. IT WORKED, AND THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL IN THE SETUP OF SMTP.
WHAT IS GOING ON



?? What is that I am doing wrong?

?
It did work with the other software.....
