I just got a Nokia Lumia 925 and almost instantly got the cyan update and yahoo mail will not work for outgoing mail. Incoming works fine. My old phone is a windows 7.8 and I checked all the smpt settings between the phones and they're all the same. Old phone still works both ways. 925 only receives will not send. I thought perhaps the windows 8.1 client is buggy so I d/l "emailbox" app and it has similar issues except it will send to another yahoo address and go thru. Sending to outside addresses don't go even though the app seems to think they have. Has anyone figured out what the deal is with this? I have tried checking to see if I have a phone update but it says I don't. I can't completely get rid of my old phone service until I get this figured out.
After posting this I discovered that my emailbox app DID send mail to my live.com account. Live just sent it to junk mail for whatever reason. So, until I figure out the problem with the regular app I'm gonna use this client, even though it's less than stellar.
After posting the first edit I connected my phone to my wifi and was able to send an email just fine. I thought AHA! So I turned the wifi back off and used the cellular connection and it worked just fine again. Perhaps the problem was with the phone and connecting properly once via wifi sorted it out? I dunno but it seems to be working now.
