    Dear Sir/ Madam,
    Iwas trying to configure MS outlook 2007 as per the instructionand failed to do so. The error message that I got is as follows:

    Task ‘mesfin_haile@yahoo.com - Sending’ reported error (0×80042109) : ‘Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).’
