You have to ask your email provider, usually your ISP, for what to put
there. It's different for every ISP (the people you pay for Internet
service).

Windows Mail cannot access webmail accounts.
If your Yahoo mail account is a free US-based one, it will only have
web access, no POP access.

Assuming your MSN mail is also the free webmail kind, you will need
to upgrade to Windows Live Mail. The latter does handle Hotmail/MSN
accounts.

You need to find out who your mail provider is, then go to their website
and look for online instructions explaining how to set up email.
If you need more help, let us know the part of your email address after the
@ symbol.

The details depend on which email provider you are using. Many
people choose their internet provider as their email provider also
since most internet accounts include one or more email accounts.
Ask your email provider for their instructions to set up to use
their email servers. If they haven't written instructions for Windows
Mail yet, their instructions for Outlook Express should also work
under Windows Mail if they don't call for the HTTP protocol.
The instructions are probably somewhere on their web site. Or,
you could tell us who your email provider is and see if anyone
here already knows where to find their instructions.

Who is your email service provider? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider.

If your only email address is @live.com, be advised that Windows Mail
will not handle free Hotmail or Live.com accounts. For those, you will
need to upgrade to Windows Live Mail:
