Windows Mail will not work with mail services that are webmail only.
Windows Live Mail does everything that Windows Mail does, plus it
accommodates MSN/Hotmail accounts: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

If your Yahoo account has webmail access only, you can try a webmail to POP
converter like YPOPs: http://ypopsemail.com
or FreePOPs: http://www.freepops.org
