Many thanks, that helped a lot. Actually also from my wife, who was
having the same problem, and I didn't know it when I fixed mine!

For the record, and perhaps because I'm not using "Mail Classic", it
turned out to be a bit different procedure for me. After "Options", I
have to select "Accounts" at left, and then "Add or Edit an Account",
whereupon you can "Add" an account name, in which you specify the e-
mail address that you wish to certify to be able to send mail from.

The odd thing is that this page sort of defines an "account" as not
just what your e-mail address is for receiving mail, but your options
for who you are sending it FROM. If you use the web-based Yahoo mail
tool (which I don't) I guess that could be handy.

After doing this certification, I can use the SBC/Yahoo SMTP server to
make it look like I'm sending FROM an account on another server. This
is handy when I work at home, and I want my e-mails to point back to
my work account.

Now, of course, all the e-mail client setup pages don't ever refer to
this ...
