Hello Selina, sad to say but I gave up on support of US based Yahoo
accounts.

Another MVP, (US based), answers this type of question here regularly, so if
you search this newsgroup in the following way, you will see his replies.

In WM, open to this newsgroup, go to the Edit menu>find>in the from line
enter Gary, in the message line enter free yahoo, click Find Now button.

HTH?
 
I see you posted with a Yahoo email address. Is that your
only email address? US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail
access only, no POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but
not Yahoo webmail.

However, your mention of a "sub-account" has me puzzled. Free Yahoo
accounts don't have that feature, but the ISP-partnered accounts do.
By any chance is your ISP AT&T (SBC) or Verizon? Let me know
because that affects my recommendations.

For free Yahoo accounts there are two Yahoo solutions:

1. How did you access Yahoo mail before? If you are happy with
webmail via your browser, you can continue to use that.

2. Pay Yahoo to get their 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 three other
solutions that will work with Windows Mail:
* Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
* Get a free Gmail account.
* Get a free Hotmail/Live account.
 
Hello,
I need to know how to change my imap to pop3, so that I can send e-mails
out.
please help
 
You can't edit the protocol setting. Delete the IMAP account, then
create the new POP account.
