"yahoo.com" is not a valid mail server name. You get the correct mail
server names from your mail provider. If that is Yahoo, read on:
:
US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP
access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not Yahoo webmail.
Yahoo's solution is to pay them for premium "Mail Plus" service, see:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/classic/mailplus/overview/
and use the special settings for that service:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/classic/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have these other
solutions that will work with Windows Mail:
* Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
* Use a free Gmail, AOL, or Hotmail/Live account.

You can also continue to use Yahoo's webmail: <a href="http://mail.yahoo.com">http://mail.yahoo.com</a>
If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.
