Windows Mail

[AliD63]

I am trying to import a yahoo email account into Windows Mail, Windows
Security keeps asking for username and password and rejecting them. (I have
tried about 12 times!)

My antivirus is Panda IS 2008.

The error message says:
Account: 'huw.davies136', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] Error logging in. Please visit
http://mail.yahoo.com', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90,
Error Number: 0x800CCC92

However it is working fine in yahoo.co.uk.

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

A very frustrated

Did you enable POP at your online mailbox?
