What happens when you send mail to that address? Do you get any return mail with an explanation?

[stacy143]

Well I just send a mail from that account and the mail was sent but I am not receiving mails into that accunt. Sometimes I get error /failure
But I just realize that when I reply to the mail it was delivered in the account but if I try to compose a new mail I am not getiing it..

I know this sounds complicated but that's the best way I can explain it

What does the error message say?

[stacy143]

It is saying message cannot be delivered to the following receiptent

Hi, Stacy,
Had a similar problem, using Outlook Express, with our dial-up telephone internet connection.
I could try sending an email from my computer's Outlook Express, to any Yahoo email address. Would get back a "Delivery Notification, Message Delay, will keep trying to send for 30 hrs".
After many calls to the Internet Service Providers' HelpDesk, finally the engineers of our ISP found that we had to change our "Outgoing Mail" configuration.
It was in Outlook Express, Tools, Accounts, Properties button, Servers tab, and under "Outgoing Mail" space.
I'm not sure if this is your problem, but hope it helps some.

That's means that the address you are trying to send to is wrong.
One of the common mistakes with Yahoo is the domain .
Eg Yahoo.COM, Yahoo.CO.UK

Are you using the correct ending on Yahoo ?

[stacy143]

Yes I am using the correct domain... myspace automatically sends your password to your email address but in this Yahoo email address I am not seeing no mail with my password
I used another email address and request a password and it was send so its not a problem with myspace it's a problem with my Yahoo account...

If you are sending the mail through Yahoo then Fred's answer doesn't apply to you at all. But Ben's may. It might also help to know the EXACT errors. Are you getting a Mailer Deamon return mail? What is the exact text of the message?

[Curlyben]

Have you tried ALL of the Yahoo mail trouble shooting tips ?

[stacy143]

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
Addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

4.79.181.14 failed after I sent the message.
Remote host said: 554 delivery error: dd This user doesn't have a
Yahoo.com account (“email” [-5] - mta221.mail.mud.yahoo.com

That is what the erroe message looks like... I only get mail in that Yahoo address when I REPLY to the mail if I try to compose a new one and send it I get that error message

[ScottGem]

Does the message list the user name? It looks like you are sending to the wrong address.

[LTheobald]

Another post just agreeing with Scott ;)

According to that error message, you attempted to send an email to "[email protected]". Is that the correct address? Do Yahoo even allow emails that short?

[stacy143]

No I did make sure it was the correct email... the email is... @yahoo.com that's how I enter it I leave out my orignial email here ><<<

I notice you are in guyana. As LT mentioned there may be differences in the domain part for different geographic locations.
