You will probably be setting your receiving through a POP3 account, which you
probably shouldn't have any difficulty with. The couple of things that you
will want to toggle are your advanced settings:

1) Make sure you have the right SMTP port number - I believe default is 25
but I think Yahoo's is 587.

2) Check or uncheck your SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) this is frequently an
issue

3) Check or uncheck your 'server requires authorization' on the servers page

4) If you have a high speed internet provider, you will have to use the SMTP
server that it provides and not your client. For instance, my POP3 is my
Yahoo business acct. However, my SMTP MUST go through Cox: smtp.west.cox.net
... because of SPAM and virus issues.

Lastly, make sure that the SMTP address has not been updated since the last
tutorial. Yhis should cover 99% of the issues that you will have.
