The yahoo.com server, which you aren't using, requires you to
either pay extra or install YPOPs to connect using Windows
Mail.

See here for yahoo.com.au:

You may have to ask Yahoo if you need more information, but make
sure you mention that you want to use the yahoo.com.au server:

I use YPOP'S. It's a free program that lets you download yahoo's mail. HTH.

Your settings look fine to me, assuming the Australian version of Yahoo
has free POP access. Is there a setting in your Yahoo web account that
needs to be set for POP access?

You only included a receive error message, so I'll limit my suggestions
to the receive mode. Make sure that "Log on using Secure Password
Authentication" is not checked.
