Hello, I am trying to set up my windows mail account. I thought that I had
the correct information for server info. (I have yahoo) I used
incoming.yahoo.com and outgoing.yahoo.com and POP3 as the server and I keep
getting a error message.

Please help me
 
Is Yahoo your only email service provider? 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:

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have two other
solutions:
3. Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
4. Get a free Gmail account.
