littleoverweb 1 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hey all, I'm trying to send a mail using a Yahoo account.I've used the server settings found elsewhere on the forum for Yahoo (and verified them by copying the settings from my desktop email client.) Here is the code:connect to mail server("SMTP With SSL", "", "[password]", "smtp.mail.yahoo.com", 465) { send email("[testemail]", "Test email", "Plain Text", "Hello", "", "", "") Every time I'm just getting an error message "Cannot connect to mail server". When I use the wizard, it times out and stops responding. I have tested with a mail account that doesn't need SSL, and was able to send no problem. However, Yahoo demands SSL. Has anyone got this working? I really do not want to be doing this as browser based. Or if you can suggest a different email provider which will work, that would be good too. Thanks in advance.
