Yahoo shouldn't be the problem. I guess it's something with Microsoft Outlook properties... Can you give the link so I can try if it works for me?

It all depends on how you have your internet set up. Some people have outlook as the default email client and others have thunderbird or yahoo, or hotmail, etc. You have done it right, you probably just have Yahoo! Mail set as your default e-mail client.
