transfer my yahoo e-mails to this file

[Esther Moskovits]

Hi,
I would like to transfer all my yahoo e-mails to windows mail. How do I do
it.
Please e-mail back to me how to do it. I tried on my own, but I keep on
being asked if my provider is POPS or some other one, and whatever I say, I
end up with an error message.
Please help me with this problem.
Thank you,
Esther Moskovits

If your Yahoo account is one of the free US-based ones, it doesn't
have POP access, meaning Windows Mail can't communicate with it.

There are some workarounds, but they are not trivial to implement.
One solution would be to upgrade to a paid Yahoo account since that
will make Yahoo accessible with a POP email client like Windows Mail:

Another solution is a third party add-on: http://ypopsemail.com/
However, we can't provide support for third party programs.
