I am trying to log onto my school's webmail through Windows Mail, and
for some reason why I try and send/receive it opens up a dialog box asking
me to add folders within the account, and then it says 'the server has
refused the connection'. What could be wrong? Get back to me, thanks

I've created an email account through yahoo small business and would like to
convert it to windows mail. I do not know what to put for the POP3/IMAP or
SMTP. Anyone know, or hav ideas where to look?
 
I'm not familiar with Yahoo Small Business, but I would imagine
they have a web page with instructions, although at first glance
I didn't see anything helpful. Did they give you your own domain
name, and does your email address have that domain name in it?
