Mail server help

I am trying to open a Microsoft mail accout. I am albe to get as far as the
internet service provider information. I have tried everything from putting
in Yahoo, to my email account address, to verizon...I keep going to the help
menu and there is not clear enough information for me. Is there something
I'm not doing or do I not have the correct server information?

Hello.

You'll want to be sure you have the correct server information from your email provider. We also have an excellent tutorial which addresses many Windows Mail issues. Here's the link: Windows Mail problems

I hope this helps.

Re: Mail server help

If your Yahoo account is a free US-based one, it will not work
because it doesn't have POP access, only web browser access.

If you have a Verizon email address, that should work. Try
these instructions:
