- Click OK.
- Now, in the Account Options screen, click on the Web Mail option for this account:

- On the right, click on the Outgoing Server and choose the one you just edited.
- (You may not have to change this if it is set as the default SMTP server).

Step 7: Sending a test email.

- Click on the Write icon.
- Now, compose a test email to send to the same email account.
- Click OK and send your email.
- Lastly, Click on Get Mail to see your test email went through properly.

If it did, congratulations, everything was set up properly! If you have more email accounts either with Yahoo! or another supported email provider, repeat these steps to set them up as well.
