I have been with Yahoo for a couple of years now. It has always been free and I don't know anything about Yahoo Plus - it must be something new. I use Outlook Express for emails and use the settings as described before.
 
may you help me with the vista windows mail settings ,the account name, server information-outgoing and incoming server type and names, the incoming and outgoing server port nos.

Let's try to begin with the basics.

Which mail programme are you using? Outlook, Outlook Express or some other?

Are you signed up with Yahoo and do you have an email address?

Ahhhh !! Vista is not something I know a lot about still being on XP.
Anyway have you checked in Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs. What is the setting in Email ?

By the way I think ppl means people.

I had a similar problem once. I deleted the username and password and then retyped them. Then it worked ??!!??
