How do you change your password in Windows Mail (vista)?

Windows Mail doesn't have a password. However, individual mail accounts
do have a password. Only the provider of that mail account can change
your account password.
 
Is there anybody out there that can help me or direct me to where I can get
help.

I am trying to set up an account and am unable to send emails or receive
don't even know my account name. I think it all started when I first bough
this laptop.

I also keep getting messages about the server not supporting yahoo etc
 
Are you trying to set up a Yahoo account in Windows Mail? That may
not work. 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:

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.
