Trying to understand Email Notifications (with Screen shot)

[d2mini]

Can anyone give me the correct settings for Yahoo? I'm still not getting anything but the blue test button.

[JasonK]

smtp.mail.yahoo.com and on port 25.

[d2mini]

Hmmmm.... something must still be wrong. I'm still not getting anything when hitting the test button. See anything wrong here? Is there anything else I need to be doing/setting up?

Only thing I can see is that the recipient still shows as d2mini@att.net and the email notification window shown here also shows d2mini@att.net.
Try deleting this line and starting again with the corrected info showing above!

Thanks for the reply! So i can't send TO my at&t account either?

Sorry, Don't know about them, just was looking at your info that displayed on your image and it displayed as described.

If you were trying to set up a new item for Yahoo! Then I do believe you need to save first, before you can test!!
Once saved it should show as a line item below the ATT line!

I think we are misunderstanding each other.

MY understanding so far is that the profilux won't play nice with certain email providers, which I was assuming has to do with SENDING the email. But I don't see why it would matter who is RECEIVING the email, in this case my att address. Am I not understanding this correctly?

And yes, I saved before testing.
Where should there be a "line item"???

[Antipodes]

Yes you are quite correct, sorry did not have thinking cap on!

Ok possible suggestions that may or may not work!
Make the username the full email address (i.e. d_desilva@yahoo.com). This is what I use!
Try port 2525, some use this instead of the standard port 25!
No guarantees though.

I found this link guiding you on setting up email for outlook. (Similar as just SMTP)
help.yahoo.com

Note the ports below and they say it is SSL??
Maybe need to ring Yahoo to verify?

Select the Advanced tab:
Incoming server (POP3): Type 995
Check the This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) checkbox.
Outgoing server (SMTP): Type 465
For Use the following type of encrypted connection, select SSL.

I used to have mine set up exactly as Denis' (above) but now it's stopped working. I moved, and set up my router for the new house's internet, but I can't understand why it isn't working.
I have yahoo and basically the same settings. I can access my profilux remotely, so I know there's connectivity. The only thing I can think of is some set up that's blocking it from reaching out and getting to the SMTP server.
Any ideas?
