Out Look Express help?

I was trying to send a picture from my computer to my yahoo email account...but error messages keep popping up. And it wouldn't go through, soooo...I removed it from my windows components , hoping that it would fix the problem. Well ... it didn't. Somebody hepl me!!!

Here is one on the messeges that would appear;

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'avaisfree@yahoo.com'. Subject 'Emailing: t192', Account: 'mail', Server: 'smpt.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.1.0 Authentication required', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

Don't forget that I have removed Out Look Express from my windows components.

    The sender's address should have been @comcast.net under OEx.

    What is your objective now? You can go to Yahoo's web page and attach a file to send to yourself if you need to pick it up elsewhere. (from you@yahoo.com to you@yahoo.com)

    The account settings are wrong: Server: 'smpt.comcast.net' it should be smtp.comcast.net
