Re: I need help with setting up my email account

Windows Mail won't work with any webmail accounts.
If you have a free Yahoo account that has web access only,
your options are:

Upgrade your Yahoo account:
http://mailplus.mail.yahoo.com/
or
Install an add-on called YPOPS!:

Sorry, that won't help. The only HTTP mail that WLM can handle is Hotmail.
