That makes complete sense logically. However, when it comes to doing it, I'm lost.
I went to Hotmail>Accounts>View settings for this account>Account Settings, and found (at the bottom) SMTP is set for "Webmail - localhost" and that my only choices are Webmail - localhost (2 iterations) and Webmail - localhost (Default). I found that Yahoo is set the same way, apparently. BTW, I don't think I set the Hotmail settings; I think they set themselves when I installed the Hotmail extension (but that didn't happen with Yahoo). So the questions are, 1. Do I need to get rid of one or more of the Webmail - localhost iterations, and if so, how? and 2. What do I set the Yahoo to and how?
