ps. If you are using gmail try the help pages.
Note. Not all webmail accounts can be accessed via Windows Mail.

Yahoo webmail does.

What... enforce top posting?
Apparantly Yahoo webmail can be accessed via POP depending on which
territory it belongs and/or whether it is a paid for version or free.
I was told that the USA free Yahoo does not support POP.
 
I access Yahoo free email via Windows Mail POP, but my Yahoo is Singapore.
No idea about USA Yahoo.
 
I am trying to set up email so that I can send articles etc. Driving me nuts
- how can I find out whether its POP or what ever the outgoing one means - I
am blonde - and that doesn't help!

Most email account providers have help pages for setting up their id.
Here for instance is the BT Yahoo version from the UK.

Although Vista Windows Mail isn't listed there I managed
to set up a BT Yahoo account by following the Outlook Express
instructions...

You're one of the "lucky" ones.

From what I understand, North American residents are the only unlucky
ones when it comes to free Yahoo POP mail. I don't understand the
rationale for that discrimination. At least there is always Gmail for
us Yankees. :-)
