For this, you'll probably have to choose an email provider that doesn't
use the usual port 25, since that port is often blocked for wifi
connections.
The one I remember is gmail.com, so go here to start an account:

<https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&co ntinue=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F%3Fn sr%3D1%26ui%3Dhtml%26zy%3Dl&ltmpl=default&ltmplcac he=2>

For instructions on how to connect Windows Mail to that account,
you'll probably want the POP connection method, so look here:

I didn't notice that you want to use Yahoo.

To use it under Windows Mail, you'll have to either pay extra
or install a format converter program. You don't sound ready
to handle a format converter program.

Some of these instructions were were written for Outlook Express, but
should also work under Windows Mail. Note that Yahoo also avoids the
port 25 problem.

Note that you'll sometimes have to click on File, then Work Offline, and
later a similar method for getting back online, to make Windows Mail
run well with no connection to the internet.
