POP3 & SMTP information.

B

I want to use windows mail, but I am being told I need my pop3 and smtp
information. I have a yahoo mail account, and cannot figure out where to find
this information. If Windows Mail is on the computer, it should be able to be
used quite easily. I would LOVE to use it, but again, I can't. I've tried
everything, and I just don't understand. Where can I find my POP3 and SMTP
information on my yahoo account?

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 them for premium "Mail Plus" service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/overview/index.html
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.

You can also continue to use Yahoo's webmail: http://mail.yahoo.com
If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.
