web based email accounts

[trudi]

I have 3 web based email accounts - gmail, yahoo and hotmail/msn

How can I set them up so they will go through windows mail, like I did with
outlook express?

Thank you
trudy

With the single exception of Hotmail/MSN, Outlook Express did not
handle webmail.

How did you set up Gmail in Outlook Express? The same way should
work in Windows Mail. Anyway, here are the instructions:

Unless you have a paid Hotmail/MSN account it won't work in WM.
You can upgrade to Windows Live Mail, which does accommodate free
Hotmail/MSN accounts: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail
access only, no POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not
webmail. 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:
