Opening Windows Mail accounts.

J

John Sands

When a friend with a yahoo.co.uk address found that his Windows Mail account
had vanished, I tried to add a new account for him, as I had had to do for
myself recently. I was informed that I had entered all the details
correctly, but a request for user name and password appeared. The password
is O.K., I'm sure, but I tried all manner of ways to enter the user name
(including e-mail address), meeting with constant rejection and an error
message (number forgotten, unfortunately). Can anyone suggest a sure way
of opening a Windows Mail account in Yahoo? I'd welcome any suggestions.
