how do I get a microsoft set up. I want my old email address

it says cannot work as was dial up so how do I have a mailbox here?

Tell us the part of your old email address after the @ symbol.

If Yahoo.com is your only email provider, then you may have
a problem. US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only,
no POP access. Windows Mail does not handle webmail.
There are three possible solutions:

1. If you are happy with using Yahoo webmail via your browser,
you can continue to use that.

2. Pay Yahoo to get their premium "Mail Plus" service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...iew/index.html
and use the special settings for that service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...op/pop-14.html

3. Another option is called YPOPs. I can no longer recommend YPOPs
because it seems to be taken over by obnoxious ads.
