I want my Yahoo! back

I recently upgraded to Vista, against my will. I had problems with a
year-old computer and was given a replacement computer with Vista. Great,
right? I like a lot of things, but some "wizard" installed Windows Mail and
the next thing I knew, all my Yahoo! mail appeared in "Mail," and disappeared
from Yahoo! I liked being able to check my email from any computer.
Luckily, my Yahoo! "sent" file was not affected, and my addresses are still
on Yahoo! I don't want to transfer them over because I'm afraid they will
also disappear from Yahoo! I have to keep going back and forth, sending mail
from Yahoo! and reading them on Windows Mail. When I want to forward
something, I have to go back to Yahoo!, find the address, copy and paste...
It is getting annoying. And if I am not at this computer, I can't check my
in-box. In fact, some mail still goes to Yahoo! to my in-box or trash. When
I reset my password for this discussion group, Microsoft sent it to Yahoo!
and not to Windows Mail. Go figure.

Can I have mail go to both places? I like some of the features of Windows
Mail, but I don't want to give up my Yahoo! It is Yahoo! Mail Plus, not free
email.

Thank-you,
Rosemarie
 
In Windows Mail, go to Tools/Accounts/{Mail Account}/Properties
Button/Advanced Tab.
In the Delivery section, check 'Leave a copy of messages on server', and set
the bottom two options as desired.
Apply/OK out of it.
 
There is not 'wizard' that installed Windows Mail, it comes as part of Vista.
Open Windows Mail and remove the Yahoo account.
Use IE7 to logon to the Yahoo web interface. If another pc, use IE6, IE7 or the available browser to logon to the Yahoo web interface.
