I am want to use Windows Mail to manage my Hotmail and Yahoo e mail. I am not
able to send or get e mails from Windows Mail. Are Hotmail and Windows Mail
the same? I keep getting a message that says something about POP and STM or
something like that. Any help would be welcome.

Most free Hotmail accounts and 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:

With Hotmail you have an alternate solution: upgrade to Windows Live Mail:
