Re: When setting up Windows mail, I get a login box that I cannot

popmail@yahoo isn't a valid server name. Neither are server names with
spaces in them. The correct settings for connecting to Yahoo depend on
which country's Yahoo servers you are trying to connect to, or which
Yahoo servers for a specific internet provider or specific business you
are trying to use. If you are trying to use their main yahoo.com servers,
you need to either pay extra or install an interface program.

If you prefer using Comcast, make sure you you have applied the
recent changes they have started requiring without telling their
users about this in advance:

Also, note that Outlook does not automatically get all the setting
changes you have applied under Windows Mail, so you may have
to look up the similar instructions for Outlook.

I'll try it again. When setting up windows mail, I get a login box that I
cannot access. It is for a login to popmail @ yahoo. It seems to be
something
that was already set up. It asks for a name and password, but doesn't
accept
anything I send. I tried to make a comcast account my default account
instead
of a yahoo account, but when I try to send mail through Outlook, it asks
for
the popmail name and password that I don't know that i have. I did get a
confirmation page for my comcast email, but when I tried to do an Outlook
email ,it aske for the popmail login again. I am trying to find out what i
need to do to remedy this. Microsoft has been no help so far. I went to
the
tech support with my purchased Outlook disc in hand, but the site won't
accept my number and want's a credit card # to continue. Thanks.
