Setting up Windows Live Mail with Yahoo Mail Plus.

Yesterday I signed up for Windows Mail Plus hoping that I would have an
easier time with it than I had with Windows Mail and the free Yahoo. So far I
haven't been able to get everything working.
There will be two accounts Harry@ yahoo. etc and my wife's Sheila@yahoo etc.
Both are actually UK addresses but .com seems to work.
The problem is that with just different names and all the setting identical
- apart from the passwords - my own seems to work perfectly well on WLM and
my wife's won't. As soon as I try to test drive her address a Logon panel
appears and keeps asking for confirmation. THere's a loop there and I can't
seem to get off it.
As I say, apart from the name differences the only other difference between
the two entries is in the password.

Some advice would be appreciated.

Thank you,

There is no such thing as Windows Mail Plus. Did you mean
Windows Live Mail?

The paid (premium) Yahoo Mail Plus is not necessary for UK customers.

UK Yahoo recommends the following settings for their free accounts:

In the future, questions about the Windows Live Mail program should
be posted in the WLM newsgroup:

Thank you. I will rephrase and repost in the proper place.
