problem with authorization

i have everything set up correctly (or so i think) to have my yahoo mail
imported into windows mail, but when i click on the send/receive button it
always asks me to input my user name and password over and over again. even
though i continuously type in the same user name and password that i have
for my email account, the window keeps popping up and asks me to type them
in again and again and it never goes through. help!

Re: problem with authorization

Windows Mail does not handle webmail.
US-based free Yahoo accounts do not have POP access, only web access.
One solution would be to upgrade to a paid Yahoo account since that will make
Yahoo accessible with a POP email client like Windows Mail::

Another solution is a third party add-on: http://ypopsemail.com/
However, we can't provide support for third party programs.
