Thanks for I am confident was great advice.  I applied your suggestion, 
however, a test email still went to the outbox waiting for a connection.

I get this message:

Sending failed:
Connection to host smtp.att.yahoo.com is broken.

The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the 
problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' 
folder.

The following transport protocol was used:
stevenvollom at sbcglobal.net

Do you want me to continue sending the remaining  messages?

I clicked on abort.

I am curious should the transport protocol be:
'smtp.att.yahoo.com' and not my email address?
