signing in

I also have the same problem, I set it up using my yahoo account. I doesnt
give me an error, just a new login in window, after I put in my information.
Please help.

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

Whether this also applies to Yahoo accounts for other counties depends
on the country.

That's probably because you have one of the free Yahoo email accounts, and
therefore don't have access to the POP servers. To get access, upgrade to
the Yahoo Plus! account.
