Re: IMAP problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP access.
Windows Mail handles POP mail but not Yahoo webmail.
Yahoo's solution is to pay Yahoo for premium "Mail Plus" service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/overview/index.html
and use the special settings for that service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have these other
solutions that will work with Windows Mail:
Use a free Gmail, AOL, or Hotmail/Live account.
If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.

Where did you get that courtneym513@xxxxxxxxxxxxx email address?
Unless you are employed by Microsoft, you are not authorized to use it.

Did you previously have a different email address? If so, what is the part
after the @ symbol? You can only set up an account in Windows Mail
using an email address that you are duly authorized to use.

Who provides your Internet connection?
