Vista - Setting up email

I'm trying to get my email and chat setup on my new computer and I dont know
what an imap server is.....Someone help me please

I see you posted with a Yahoo email address. Is that your
only email address? US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail
access only, no POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not
webmail. There are two Yahoo 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:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...iew/index.html
and use the special settings for that service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...op/pop-14.html

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have two other
solutions:
3. Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
4. Get a free Gmail account.

If you need more help with one of these four choices, let us know.

By "include" you mean add that account to Windows Mail?
In Windows Mail: Tools, Accounts, Add, Mail...

If you mean your Live account, that is an exception.
Free Hotmail and Live accounts have webmail access only,
no POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not webmail.

The newer Windows Live Mail program does accommodate Hotmail and Live
accounts: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
