how do i set up my email account with microsoft

If you work for Microsoft, ask this question at work. If you don't,
it isn't clear what type of email account you mean. Many people
use an email account provided by their internet provider, so the
details of how to set up the account depend on which internet
provider they are using.

If you want Windows Mail to connect to your yahoo.com account,
you'll have to either pay extra or install an interface program.

You haven't given enough information. To set up an email account with
Windows Mail see the following link from my website:
http://vistasupport.mvps.org/adding_an_email_account_to_windows_mail.htm You
will need some specific information from your ISP before you can set up an
account, so you will need to ask your ISP for the pop and smtp information
(this should be available on the help page of your ISPs website.

Please let us know who your email account is with - just the part of your
address after the @ symbol - so we can give you the most specific
information for your provider.

Please open a thread of your own (as opposed to piggybacking on an unrelated
issue) with a subject more specific to your issue ("Removing a contact") and
type the detailed specifics of what you are trying to do and what you have
tried in the "body" of the post - not the subject line.

Yeah, and I think the most important part of that is to use the body to
describe the problem, not the subject to try to put everything in.

The regular experts here look at all messages anyway and Windows Mail uses a
smaller font for the subject, so use of the subject for everything is a
waste and borders on being rude. Another reason it is a waste is because the
there is not enough room in the list of messages for a long subject so the
message must be "opened" anyway.

Who is your mail service provider? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider. If you currently don't have an email address,
we can help with that also.
