I can't get Windows Mail to recognize my email. I go to tools then accounts
and add my email. Its a yahoo and I put pop.mail.yahoo.com for my incoming
mail and smtp.mail.yahoo.com for my outgoing. The outgoing is port 25 and
incoming is 110. I put in my email and password then hit finish but everytime
it tries to connect to pop.mail.yahoo.com it says to put my username and
password so I put in my email that I added and the password for it. Everytime
I do this it gives me an error :

Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR invalid user/password', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

Am I doing this all wrong? I've never used one of these so I dont have a
clue what I'm doing but it sounded right lol. Somebody PLEASE help me.

Is your Yahoo id a free account or paid for?

If it is a free account, in most countries, you can't POP it.
 
Hi Megan, I got the same problem and I don't think we are alone out there. I
called a technician in for tomorrow. if you can't solve it by than I will
let u know.
 
Thanks for the help guys =] I feel retarded I looked on yahoo and pop IS only
for when you pay for it.

Don't let the technician rip you off.
It's first question should be...
Is it a free or premium Yahoo Account?

Free accounts don't POP.
