These instructions are for Outlook Express, but Windows Mail works the same
way, so just follow the steps:

You need to have a Yahoo! Mail Plus account for it to work with an email
client such as Windows Mail.

Actually it will work with Ypops which is free.

Well, that must be new, because it never did before that and I received a
message I need to upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus to get my mail in Outlook.

Only if you're STUPID enough and IGNORANT enough to not know that ANY
Yahoo domain except .com and .ca can be used in Outhouse Distress,
Windows Fail, Thunderbird, Pegasus, Outlook, etc. for free with no need
to buy Yahoo! Mail Plus.

You can use POP3 for any Yahoo! Mail account which address ends with a
country code top level domain. No need to upgrade.

What Yahoo domain do you have? If it's anything besides yahoo.com or
yahoo.ca, go to your Yahoo account using your web browser and activate
POP. Then read the instructions on how to configure it with Windows Mail.

I still have trouble sending out and receiving message by using windows mail
while I have followed every step indicated as the following site. the
"symptom" is as follows:
when I clike "send& receive" on window mail, a window comes out which
appears" longon to pop.mail.yahoo.com, please verify both the user name and
password are correct for your mail server, then I type in my user name and
password in the boxes and then clike "OK"
user name:xxxxxxx
password:xxxxxx

the same window comes out again. when I click "cancel" following message
appear:
Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol:
POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid user/password', Port: 995, Secure(SSL):
Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
:
what's wrong with it?
thanks

Do you *pay* for your Yahoo mail? If not, you can't get mail through Window
mail unless you are using what I told you about before...Ypops. If you *do*
pay for it, then you're getting pop service, and should be able to get your
mail.

what is the difference betweeen yahoo and yahoo mail plus ? what does the
latter one look like? do I need to pay for it? my current mail looks like
(e-mail address removed),

 

[ming]

it seems that my current yahoo address ([email protected]) has problem in using
windows mail. can anybody recommend me any other email account which I find
easier to work with windows mail. thus i can create a new email account.

Unless you have a Yahoo branded ISP or pay for Yahoo mail, you probably
don't have POP access to your mail.
I used Yahoo mail for years via POP, but they quit that a couple years ago
in favor or premium POP accounts only.

Um, only the yahoo.com and yahoo.ca require payment. All other yahoo
domains have free pop access. You do, however, have to activate it on
the yahoo mail web site before it will work in an email program.

I am using Yahoo.es on three computers and I pay nothing and none of
them are premium accounts.

Open a Yahoo email account at http://uk.yahoo.com/. Once you've opened
it, go to your email account using your web browser and activate pop
access. Then you can configure Windows Mail to receive and send it. You
will find instructions for configuring it on the yahoo email web site.
The only paid accounts are yahoo.com (what you have) and yahoo.ca.

Yeah, I was *assuming* the poster had a .com., and the poster was in the US.
If so, many people would want a .com address as opposed to an address that
indicates you live in another country. Ypops accomplishes the same thing
though with .com's as if you *had* pop service. And you don't have to
activate it anywhere except on your computer. I have been using it for years
on my XP desktop, and now on my Vista laptop. It works.

I suggested Ypops before...even gave you a link to download it...but
apparently you don't want to use it although for the life of me and I can't
figure out why. It would enable you to use Windows Mail, you would have a
*US* Yahoo address, and it's free! Different strokes for different folks I
guess.
