The user name you need is the sbcglobal user name, not the Yahoo user name. It should end with @sbcglobal.net
BTW, you do not need the webmail extension for SBCGlobal Yahoo. That is only needed for the free USA Yahoo accounts.

So you have both the SBCGlobal Yahoo and a free Yahoo account? Either way, you still need to use the SBCGlobal user name with the SBCGlobal SMTP server.
