Having trouble setting up my e-mail account.

This is the first time I have used Windows mail. I try to get it set up and
it says "The host 'Yahoo' could not be found. Please verify that you have
entered the server name correctly. Subject 'Poop', Account:'Yahoo',
Server:'Yahoo', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
11001, Error Number: 0x800CC0D" Can someone give me instructions on how to
fix this problem? Thanks.

Well, "Yahoo" is not the server name.
If you have access to Yahoo POP mail, then follow the instructions here.

If you have Yahoo webmail account, you can't access it with Windows Mail.
