Is your Yahoo email account a free one?
US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no
POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not webmail.
There are two possible solutions:
1. How did you access Yahoo mail before? If you are happy with
webmail via your browser, you can continue to use that.
2. Pay Yahoo to get their premium "Mail Plus" service:

and use the special settings for that service:

Hi,The first thing to consider is that a quirk in Windows Mail often makes it
I use Vista Windows Mail as mail client.
I face the problem in POP3 mail accout that it already pop up asking for
user name and password for receiving and sending email every serveral
days.
Even, I input the userID and password. It still pop up again and again.
I need to remove the POP3 mail accout and re-add it again return normal.
However, it happen again few days onward.
Anyone help? Thanks
forget the password if you click Apply in the same session that you put a
checkmark before Remember password. If you restart it, go back to the
email account page for Properties, then Servers, and the checkmark is
still there, try replacing the E-mail username: line and the Password: line
without disturbing the checkmark, then you can click Apply to make it
remember the changes without running into problems from the quirk.
Also, it can forget the password if the server is down and unable to let
you log in, so you need to do the same thing in this case.
Some email servers insist that you enter your username with no spaces
and no CAPITAL LETTERS. Some insist that you follow it with the
part of your email address starting with @, and some insist that you
don't. Many won't accept passwords with any differences in which
letters are CAPITAL and which are lowercase. The error messages
they give in these cases are often unclear about exactly what the
problem in your username and/or password was.
