setting up windows vista mail with a yahoo email address

I am trying to set up my vista mail account with the yahoo pop account and I
followed the instructions but I get the followin Account:
'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '-ERR invalid user/password', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server
Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92g error.

It told me to use my yahoo log in and password and that is what I try to use
and I keep getting the same error message. Can someone help me?

If you want to use your Yahoo account under Windows Mail, you have to
either pay extra or install YPOPs:

Re: setting up windows vista mail with a yahoo email address

I followed the download with ypops from your link, however I am still getting
the same error message. Is there a way to change it from 32 bit to 64 bit I
think that may be my issue. Is that a possibility?

Re: setting up windows vista mail with a yahoo email address

To do that, you get a set of 64-bit Vista CDs and install 64-bit Vista
instead of your current 32-bit Vista. That will probably wipe out
everything you have saved, though, unless you have saved it
somewhere other than your main hard disk.

Re: setting up windows vista mail with a yahoo email address

I don't want to do that. But it still doesn't work for me for some reason.
I keep getting that little screen with my login and it starts to authorize
but then it just pops back up and it doesn't take it. Thank you for your
help I do appreciate it.

Re: setting up windows vista mail with a yahoo email address

Download YPOPs! and install on your computer. I did this last week and it
works with the Windows mail program.
Here is the website: http://ypopsemail.com/

You will have to name your incoming and outgoing mail servers "localhost".

Good luck!

Re: setting up windows vista mail with a yahoo email address

I did do this and it still doesn't want to work for me so I guess I just need
to give up on it every working and move on.

Re: setting up windows vista mail with a yahoo email address

Are you talking about in the lower right hand side where all the small icons
are. If so then no I don't I have uninstalled and reinstalled ypop's and it
doesn't seem that anything has changed.
