1. Turn off caps lock
2. Read the links in my signature on how to ask a question.
3. post back and actually provide some useful information about your problem
 
Expect fewer useful answers if you post here in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

It also helps to include details in the large empty space you left below
the subject line, such as a cut and paste of any error messages you
get.

What type of email account are you trying to connect to - a free
Yahoo account? Windows Mail can't connect to those. You can,
however pay Yahoo for a type of account it can connect to:

I see you posted with a Yahoo email address. Is that your only
email address? US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail
access only, no POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but
not webmail. There are two Yahoo solutions:

1. How did you access Yahoo mail before? If you are happy with
webmail via your browser, you can continue to use that.

2. Pay Yahoo to get their premium "Mail Plus" service:

and use the special settings for that service:

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have two other
solutions:
3. Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
4. Get a free Gmail account.
