Problem receiveng my Yahoo messages

This is what I get when i try to get my mail, what am I doing wrong?!?

ERROR

Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR [SYS/PERM] pop not allowed for user.', Port: 995,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

Did those settings ever work for you? Do you have a free Yahoo
account or a paid one?
US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP access.
Windows Mail handles POP mail but not Yahoo webmail.
Yahoo's solution is to pay them for 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

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have these other
solutions that will work with Windows Mail:
* Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
* Use a free Gmail, AOL, or Hotmail/Live account.

You can also continue to use Yahoo's webmail: http://mail.yahoo.com
If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.
