Vista Tutorial - account setup

How do I get started?

Who is your email service provider? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider.

Is your Yahoo account a free one?
US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP
access. Windows Mail does not handle Yahoo webmail.
There are three possible solutions:

1. How did you access Yahoo mail before? If you are happy with
webmail via your browser, you can continue to use that.

2. Pay Yahoo to get their premium "Mail Plus" service:

and use the special settings for that service:

3. Another option is called YPOPs. It is free, but requires some technical
knowledge to implement:

Hello,
I have a similar problem with my vodafone account. All settings are ok but
the system does not accept my user name or password although it is correct.
What can I do ?

If you are sure you are using the correct username and password,
one possible cause for that error is account corruption. One thing
you might try as a possible quick fix is to delete that corrupted
account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate that mail account.
If that doesn't fix it, more drastic measures will have to be taken.

Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

If turning off the email scanning function does not resolve your problem,
consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to
suffering bad effects from overly aggressive antivirus programs.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons

Yes, I'm 100% sure in using the correct username and password, as it works by
logging in to the vodafone webpage.

I've deleted and re-created the account in Windows mail several times with
no result. I've deleted McAfee from my laptop and tried again. I've updated
to Windows live mail and created there a new account.

Still the same problem: User name or password cannot be recognized.

Any uninstall of McAfee antivirus must be followed up by using their

If you decide to replace McAfee, we can recommend a free antivirus
program which is more compatible with Windows Mail:
