Email alert can't be set up keeps saying test email failed please help

I have successfully set this up using yahoo.uk mail.
I cannot get it to work with gmail or virgin mail.

Use these settings:


pop/smtp email server > smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
send to email address > your email address
account > your email address without the "@yahoo.co.uk"
password > your password


You can forward emails to your normal email address so that you can get alarms on your mobile without adding another email account.


Unfortunately your computer needs to switched on with sec24 running.

An e-mail was sent to every person on my yahoo mailing list for Viagra. The message looks like I sent it but I did not

Hello,

This is a common problem. Someone has hacked your email, and sent those messages.

You should probably change your password.

Hope this helps.

  5. In the text box labelled Display Name, type your name and click "Next."

  7. Under "My incoming mail server is a…" select "POP3."
  8. Type "pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk" in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) Server box.
  9. Type "smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk" in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box.
  10. Click "Next."
  11. In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com").

  1. From the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts."
  2. Select your Yahoo! POP account and click the "Properties" button.
  3. Click the "Advanced" tab.
