Evolution email setup problems

I've tried setting up evolution for AT&T yahoo email client. After reading countless FAQs in the Ubuntu forums I am fairly certain I have configured the setup properly. I have tried uninstalling and re installing Evolution. when I try sending a new msg it goes immediately to the outbox. It used to, but no longer asks for my email password. Is there a file somewhere that evolution stores configuration info that has to be deleted to get a complete fresh start for setting up the configuration? I had Ubuntu 9.04 and now have 9.10. It did not work in version 9.04 either. TNX for any help. Bob Gagnon.

This is some kind of POP account?  Your SMTP server is setup as
"plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com"?

This isn't Windows, that won't do anything.

You probably checked the "remember password" box.

Are you in online mode?  If in offline mode everything will just go
straight to the outbox.

If you click Send/Receive does it do anything?

Just delete the account in Edit -> Preferences
