Where did you get that (e-mail address removed) email address?
Unless you are employed by Microsoft, you are not authorized to use it.

Did you previously have a different email address? If so, what is the part
after the @ symbol? You can only set up an account in Windows Mail
using an email address that you are duly authorized to use.

Who provides your Internet connection?

that i could use. How do i change that.

To set up an account in WM, go to tools menu>accounts>add.

To do that you will need to know the mail providers server names, if you do
not know what they are then tell us the bit after the @ in your email
address.

Free Yahoo accounts cannot be set up in Windows Mail.

Get yourself a free hotmail, live or gmail account, they will all set up in
WM.

For gmail access in Windows Mail, see:

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 Yahoo 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 a free Gmail, AOL, or Hotmail/Live account.
If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.
