Default Outlook 2007 and Yahoo

I do not have a paid acct with Yahoo, but thought that with Ypops one could
use Outlook with a free Yahoo acct. In the tutuorial I followed, it
instructed me to use 127.0.0.1 as both my outgoing and incoming mail server.

I am using outlook 2007 and just followed the instructions on the 'about'
website that Outlook help gave me in order to use outlook for my yahoo
acct.
It then imported my inbox effectively. I was thrilled until I tried to
send
my first email and got a 554 undelieverable message. I am using a public
wireless network. Can anyone help?


Please be more exact in describing how you've configured the account.
Unless you're using a paid Yahoo.com account (or one of several European
Yahoo servers), you cannot use Outlook to access Yahoo via POP. Are you
authenticating to the outgoing server? Are you using AT&T as your ISP? Are
you on an AT&T network when you access the mail server?
