Trouble with Windows Vist Mail and Yahoo

[Noel Brett Thomas, Esquire]

I cannot get Windows Mail to run, my internet provider is Yahoo. I have the
home premium edition of Vista. I get the following error messages when I try
to set up Yahoo and then try to send Email. I would appreciate some
assistance if anyone has had this or a similar problem.

Yahoo is not an ISP. They are only a mail provider.
How do you connect to the Internet?
