Per your suggestion, in Outlook Express I changed to use SSL on port 993 for IMAP, and port 465 for SMTP, the creation of the new account succeeded without error! However, when tried to send to my yahoo mail or gmail acct, got the following error: (apparently failed to send!)
Changed subject to OT because this is not relevant to dovecot...
"The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected email address was 'dchenusa@yahoo.com.' Subject: 'test out to yahoo mail' Account:'dchen192.168.20.100' Server: 192.168.20.100 Protocol: SMTP, server response: 554 5.7.1
That is a 'Relay access denied' error (assuming yahoo uses correct error codes, which is probably a bad assumption)...
Either Yahoo doesn't support port 465 (try the submission port for your yahoo smtp server - 587)... or you have a free account which doesn't allow relaying using their servers (so you'd have to use something else for sending - what does the Thunderbird client use for sending for that account?)...
But as suggested... don't use Outlook Express, use a modern mail client (Thunderbird is my preference, but someone else suggested Windows Live Mail which does suck much less than Outlook Express)...
