need help with server name for incoming and outgoing mail

using vista, have yahoo email acct, what is server name for yahoo? I have
limited experience with this as I have learned to play by ear and trial and
error, no formal training. Oh, you could tell ! I am trying to set up windows
mail but I need server names. Help!

A quick google shows:-

Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)

Do not send email

It depends on which country you reside in, and whether you have a
free or paid account. Free US-based Yahoo accounts have webmail
access only, no POP.

To use yahoo.com under Windows Mail, you have to either pay extra or
install YPOPs.

To use AOL, see here:

For MSN, some of the older accounts will work under Windows
Mail, but not the newer ones that use the HTTP protocol.

For Gmail, see here:

These Gmail instructions cover both the IMAP and the POP
methods of connecting. Choose one of these, and don't get
them mixed up.

Windows Mail allows you to have more than one email
account, but puts the incoming mail for all of them into
the same Inbox.
