You need a premium Yahoo account to do this:

Marita - With Windows Live Mail you can use your FREE Yahoo account.

This link is for downloading WLM and setup instructions -

This link is for YPOPs, which is required -
http://ypopsemail.com/index.php?name...ewtopic&t=3289

---- Though not what you asked, it is quite easy to do, and you will like
WLM if you choose it Wayne.

That link is for paid AT&T Yahoo mail, which is quite different from
standard Yahoo mail. Yahoo partners with several large ISPs by providing
specialized email services for the customers of those ISPs.

As a wise man once said, follow the money trail (i.e., who gets your ISP
money?).
