Is your Yahoo account associated with your ISP (Bell Canada)?

I see you posted with a Yahoo email address. Is that your only email
address? US-based (and probably also Canadian) 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.
If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.
