Step 4: Check for any blockages or restrictions

1. Check your Yahoo.com account settings for any blockages or restrictions that might be preventing you from sending emails. For example, you might have a limit on the number of emails you can send per day.
2. Check your email client settings for any blockages or restrictions that might be preventing you from sending emails.
