    If they don't know then there is not much hope for us!!

    Try:
    POP (incoming mail server): incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
    SMTP (outgoing mail server): outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net

    How do I toggle between email accounts in (Vista) "Windows Mail"?

    I am changing servers to Rogers.com. Currently when i open Windows Mail my
    old Sympatico email account opens and I cannot access the "Rogers.com" one I
    set up in Windows Mail (using "Add" under Tools/Accounts) DESPITE the fact
    the new Rogers.com account says it's my default account. A Rogers tech
    support person opened it with me over the phone so I know it works and i sent
    myself an email using a 3rd (hotmail) private account.

    That's the first problem. I want to click on Windows Mail and be able to
    toggle between these two accounts, both listed in accounts under Windows
    Mail. (I have Vista). How do I toggle between accounts using Windows Mail?

    Problem #2: I successfully saved my contacts in a CSV account in Windows.
    While in there..the saved Sympatico contacts..it says "export" and i went
    thru that, hoping at some point i could send this contacts list to my new
    Rogers.com account under windows and just erase my old Sympatico account. But
    dammit i can't! The Windows Contacts doesn't ask me to type in the new rogers
    account.

    With Windows Mail, you can add many email accounts.
    But all the email from all the accounts goes into the same Inbox.
    If you want, you can create rules to separate the emails.

    When you send a message, you can click on the From: field and select which
    account you want to send from.

    If you want to try the new Windows Live Mail, it has separate
    Inbox/Sent/Junk/Drafts/Deleted folders for each account.

    You have one set of contacts, stored in a folder outside of Windows Mail.
    The same contacts are used for all of your accounts.

    Tools | Accounts
    Select the Rogers account and click Properties.
    Make sure the box to "Include this account ..." is checked.

    Windows Contacts does not have separate Contacts for each account.
