I use Yahoo, in my settings for program access and computer defaults I have "Use my current e-mail" checked. Yet when I try to send an e-mail to say a business, I keep getting a message that says (see attachment)

Why can't I get it to accept my Yahoo Mail, it won't even access my ISP mail address either?
