using yahoo mail in Vista's Windows Mail

[Sonak]

I've got the pop3 and smtp settings right....why does it keep asking for my
username and password? And how can I fix this because as it is now, it won't
send/receive.

smtp.mail.yahoo.com for smtp <port 465, SSL>
pop3.mail.yahoo.com for pop3 <port 995, SSL>

what am I doing wrong?

username input as (e-mail address removed)
password in correct case?

Are you sure you have POP access? The free ones in the US do not.

Have you ticked the box my 'server requires authentication' in the
properties=>server=>settings ? Put in your email address less the @yahoo.com
and your password.
