You will need to get the server information from Yahoo. It is available on
their help pages. However, if you do not have a Yahoo Mail Plus email
account you will not be able to use it with Windows Mail or Outlook. In
other words if you have a free Yahoo email account you will not be able to
use it with Windows Mail.

===============================
Do you have a POP3 account? Windows
Mail does not work with HTTP accounts.

(926374) You cannot configure Windows Mail
to use a Web-based e-mail account in Windows
Vista

If you happen to have MS Outlook...it should
work with HTTP accounts.

False. That's only true if you have an account with yahoo.com or
yahoo.ca. All the other domains can be used. I use a yahoo.es in T-Bird
running Ubuntu Linux and I have run it in OE and T-Bird with Windows XP.

Yahoo is POP3 and can be used with Windows Mail if your Yahoo domain is
not .com or .ca.
