| | Re: problem setting up yahoo account? 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 three other solutions: * Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP. * Get a free Gmail account. * Get a free Hotmail/Live account, and use it with the Windows Live Mail email program. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Samm" <xosingerrox@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:%2341TKZpdJHA.5748@xxxxxx Quote: > umm problem? i try to set up my yahoo account on this and it says "log on to pop3 server" but i dont have an account? then i > pressed some buttons and it says "log on to your yahoo account" and i do that and it says incorrect password? > > can someone please tell me how to do the pop3 login thing. > > thanks :] |
