Re: Windows Mail HELP! :|

Windows Mail cannot access any webmail accounts, only POP or IMAP.

Yahoo - can access POP server only if you have a Plus account
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...op/pop-14.html


Gmail - have to enable IMAP or POP on the website first, then can use WM.

Hotmail & Live - can access POP server only if you have a Plus account,
otherwise can use the newer Windows Live Mail to access the free accounts.

Bellsouth - check with ATT/Bellsouth...

Operamail - appears to be webmail, so can't use WM.
