I used the info from previous posts to set up my account information. It will not let me sign in. It keeps giving me the window "please make sure your account info is correct" i tried putting it in a bunch of times but it wont let me. I am wondering if it is something in the the account info i did not type in right. I am trying to set it up with yahoo. I am not paying for the yahoo plus, my internet provider is time warner cable in case that matters. Suggestions? Thank you |

US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP access. Windows Mail does not handle webmail. There are three possible solutions: 1. How did you access Yahoo mail before? If you are happy with webmail, you can make it your default email service, so that Yahoo webmail will pop up when you click on a MailTo link on a web page: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/settings/settings-10.html 2. Pay Yahoo to get their premium "Mail Plus" service: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/overview/index.html and use the special settings for that service: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html 3. Another option is called YPOPs: http://ypopsemail.com It is free, but requires some technical knowledge to implement. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "Ron Henslee" <rlhenslee@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:u3JB138sIHA.524@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I used the info from previous posts to set up my account information.
