Can't send email through MS Outlook?

When I setup Outlook to access my yahoo emails through POP, I set the SSL as instructed - incoming to 995 and outgoing to 465, authenticated, etc. etc. All worked fine. Now it has stopped working and I get this error message





Task 'Pete - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC7D) : 'Your outgoing (SMTP) server does not support SSL-secured connections. If SSL-secured connections have worked in the past, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'


Yahoo DOES support SSL secured connections, so why the problem? Is it a cunning plan to get us to log in to yahoo in order to send emails?


Does anyone know how to contact Yahoo directly for help? This forum is the closest thing that I can find to customer support!
