7. Enter '127.0.0.1' as the SMTP server as your outgoing mail server
8. Click on the More Settings button and select the Advanced tab
9. Increase the Server Timeout to 'Long' (10 minutes)

the little bit about requireing authorization is important, also change ports, I think is 465 and 995 off the top of my memory, but 25 for one may also work.
Also, don't set it to check too often - every minutes is too much for Yahoo for some reason, every 10 works fine.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
