If you have a free, US-based Yahoo account, it will have web access
only, so it can't be used with Windows Mail. For an extra fee, Yahoo
will upgrade your account to Mail Plus, which enables it for access
by standard POP clients like Windows Mail:
http://mailplus.mail.yahoo.com

To use Yahoo under Windows Mail, you need to have a premium Yahoo
account:

If you're doing it for a Yahoo account also, the answers are the same for
you. If you're doing it for some other email provider instead (who is
probably also your internet provider), ask your email provider for
instructions. Or tell us who your email provider is and see if anyone
here already knows where to find their instructions.
