If you don't know some values, ask the email service provider or look in their web pages or search using google. Some providers give you a program or reg file that sets everything for you, except passwords. You can download it from their web pages.
Note that not all web mail providers allow you to use SMTP/POP3, ie to use email programs and QM. Not sure about Yahoo. Does not work for me. Gmail works, but you need the latest QM version.

To send email, required are SMTP settings. To receive - POP3 settings.
Values marked with * can be empty or anything you like.
Account name - account name that can be used with SendMail and other email functions, and is used in Outlook Express.
Email address - your email address in that account.
Reply-to - email address for reply, if different than Email address.
Server - server name. It often looks like smtp.emailcompanyname.com, or mail.emailcompanyname.com.
Timeout - number of seconds to wait for server response and then throw error.
Usually can be used default port. It is 25 for SMTP. When using secure connection (which is supported in the last QM version), default SMTP port is 465, although sometimes 25 also works.
Auth. method - usually works the default (LOGIN). If not, try other values.
User, password - user name and password of your email account. For SMTP, leave empty if Auth. method is "no".
POP3 settings are similar. User and password usually are the same as with SMTP. Server sometimes is the same, sometimes different, eg pop.emailcompanyname.com. Default port is 110, or 995 for secure connection.
