Connection problems

[whartay]

I recently downloaded the Windows Mail message system and wanted to use my
yahoo email account. I did all the POP3 incoming and outgoing server
information for Yahoo and when it was all said and done, I had connection
problems.

I'm running my internet connection from a cable modem and wireless router.

Error message recieved:

Do you have a Yahoo! Mail Plus account or free Yahoo! Mail account?

The Plus account costs money. The free account doesn't allow POP access.

Get a Gmail, Hotmail or Live account. They're free and allow POP access.
