Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008configure windows mail to hotmail or yahoo
i am new to this and would appriciate if anyone could tell me how to configure my windows mail on my laptop. my os is vista home prem. thank you. Is your Yahoo account one of the free US-based ones? If so, it doesn't have POP access, only web (HTTP) access. For $19.99 per year Yahoo will upgrade your account to Mail Plus, which does have POP access: http://mailplus.mail.yahoo.com Likewise, free Hotmail accounts have no POP access. However, if you upgrade Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail, it enables access: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview If you pay for Internet access, your ISP will give you a free email address that has POP access. You can also get a free POP email account from Gmail.
