For which email provider? Many people choose their internet
provider as their email provider also, since most internet accounts
include one or more email accounts.

If you want Windows Mail to connect to yahoo.com, you have to
either pay extra or install YPOPs:

I still can't send email from MSMail, get the following error message:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Emailing: CIMG2679',
Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Any suggestions??

That server hasn't used port 25 in quite a while, and the server name
was changed also.
If you have Yahoo's Mail Plus service, use these settings:

If your Yahoo mail service is obtained through a third party ISP, let
us know who that is.
