[NBLUG/talk] Cant' Send Email to Self

Sorry, I was pulling the server name from memory.  You're correct, 
pop.att.yahoo.com is definitely the correct server name.  But the rest 
of my email is accurate, TLS will not work with Yahoo, so make sure that 
you have SSL enabled explicitly.

If you're not receiving email sent to yourself via the webmail, I would 
double-check the Junk folder on the Yahoo webmail to make sure it's not 
ending up there.

Looks like you're dealing with two separate issues.

Hope that helps!
