In MS Outlook 2010, the program was set up to access the clients yahoo mail account through an AT&T DSL. All fields were set correctly POP3, SMTP, ssl checked, ports set, etc. but still no joy. Contacted AT&T Internet support to verify all settings were good. Yup, good to go. But still had send issues. 
I finally googled for the solution and found something on TechNet. The solution was actually intended to be for Windows Vista having the same error problem for a different reason (?). Here it is:
1. Run cmd.exe as Administrator. (Start--type cmd--right click-- Run as admin.)
2. Type: netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled and hit enter.
3.Test the POP account in Outlook 2010 settings window.
Worked like a charm. Like this told the program not to hold up access to the server.
QUESTION: Would anyone here with a bit more experience and a good DOS command understanding tell me how this fixed the problem?
Hope this helps someone in the same boat sometime.
