have webmail access only, no POP access.
Windows Mail handles POP mail but not Yahoo webmail.
Yahoo’s solution is to pay them for premium "Mail Plus" service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai…iew/index.html
and use the special settings for that service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai…op/pop-14.html
If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have these other
solutions that will work with Windows Mail:
* Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
* Use a free Gmail, AOL, or Hotmail/Live account.
You can also continue to use Yahoo’s webmail: http://mail.yahoo.com
If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.
