    Trying to setup Windows Mail to Yahoo Plus POP3 account for first time

    I am having a Yahoo Plus account where I pay $20 for a year. Earlier I was using it with Outlook as a POP3 account and was working very fine. Now as I bought a new Vista machine, am trying to configure the same in Windows Live mail but it is not getting done. Yahoo is just blocking the same even tried YPOPs.

    I thought there could be some problem from Yahoo end but as I can access the yahoo server thru telnet, am sure the problem is neither with Yahoo nor my internet connection. Not also it was with Outlook. There is something getting wrong with Windows Mail itself. Can you guys please help me find out?

    I can suggest you two things. First is to disable your security suites. I mean the Antviruses. If you have Norton or McAfee antivirus program installed on your computer, they must be creating the problem and even disabling them won’t work. You will need to completely uninstall them from the computer.

    Other than this, I’ll suggest you to delete your yahoo Plus POP account from Windows mail and recreate it from scratch using Yahoo’s instructions for the same. Just make sure select any different port instead of 25. It should work.

    I used the instructions given on this Yahoo page for doing the same: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...op/pop-08.html

    It worked for me. See if you get some help from the same.
