Firs,t go to Options>Privacy>Passwords. Go thru the list and remove all the entries for the SMTP passwords. Now go to Tools>Account Settings. On left side of window where the accounts are listed, scroll down to bottom and click on "outgoing server (SMTP). In the new window, click "Add" create new SMTP servers for each of your email accounts with "smtp.att.yahoo.com" as your server, Port 465, Check the box "Use Name and Password" enter the full email address of the account and check the "SSL" radio box. Up where you entered in 465 for the port, you should also see 465 as default to the right. Click OK and repeat for each mail account. When you're done, go back and make one of the NEW ones the default. Remove all the old SMTP servers that were there before you added the new ones.
Next, in the left scroll window where you see your accounts, click one. To the right, right above "Manage Identities" button, click the "outgoing server(SMTP) drop down and choose the SMTP server with the same user Id as the account you clicked on. Repeat for all the accounts so the SMPT servers match each account. Click Ok.
Choose an email account and click the write button. Create a test email to send. When you send it, you will get a pop up window to enter your password. Enter the password and click the box for it to be saved in your passwords. Repeat the test emails for all accounts. Mail should send.
You should go back to Options>Privacy>Passwords and click on "show passwords". You should see all the new SMTP entries there with the correct passwords for each. Something like smtp://"userid1"%40sbcglobal.net@smtp.att.yahoo.com and your password displayed to the right. If all the info is correct, you should be done and able to send emails.
I agree, this works...
