I have never done this but thought it would help allowing me to just click on
whom I needed to email from a site and have it automatically go into my
email. I need help setting up the actual incoming and outgoing servers. If
someone could help I would appreciate it. This is the error I am getting.

The host 'stmp.yahoo.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have
entered the server name correctly.
Subject 'test', Account: 'www.yahoo.com', Server: 'stmp.yahoo.com',
Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number:
0x800CCC0D
 
US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP
access. Windows Mail does not handle Yahoo webmail.
There are two possible 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:
