Can't set this up - tried a million times!

[Lori Grader]

I've got 4 yahoo accounts (2 are @yahoo.com) and 2 are through yahoo
business from my website address. I've tried a million times to set up
these accounts through Windows Mail and it keeps telling me that the address
is invalid. Can someone PLEASE help and direct me to someone I can actually
talk to?

Are any of those Yahoo accounts free ones?
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 for premium "Mail Plus" service:

and use the special settings for that service:

If one or more of your accounts are paid ones, do you get an error
message when you try to send or receive? If so, right-click on your
error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.
