Pay particular attention to "Note: Some e-mail services, such as Yahoo!
Mail, require a premium subscription for POP3 access." If you are not a
Yahoo Plus subscriber, you will not be able to access the account in Windows
Mail.

Use this info when Windows mail asks for it. You will need your login
information for you yahoo mail as well:

Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com

Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Hope this helps!!

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

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: http://mail.yahoo.com
If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.
