How can I find a Yahoo user ID if I only have the name?

Windows Mail rejected my valid Yahoo user name & pw when logging on to "pop.mail.yahoo.com".?

• When setting up new account on Windows Mail, it requires that I enter the Incoming mail server (pop3) and outgoing server (smtp), ie, pop.mail.yahoo.com (btw, is this the correct server name?) which I did. MMail messages are sent. A logon/connection to "pop.mail.yahoo.com" is made . The Yahoo user name and password is entered. Upon verfication, however, they are always rejected. The user name(user-id) and password are correct as shown in the Yahoo Acct profile. Why. (Further note:I am not sure if the above "pop"and "smtp" data are correct. I could not find that anywhere in Yahoo). Thanks for your help.

• Answer:

  For yahoo mail you need upgrade to yahoo mail plus to get the full pop3 service for access to outlook,incredimail, thunderbird, and others. And use the yahoo mail servers address. * Incoming Mail Server (POP3): plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL, port: 995 * Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication Click this link for yahoo mail pop3 settings http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/classic/mailplus/pop/pop-08.html http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html Any problems go to this link. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/classic/mailplus/pop/pop-14.htmlhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/mailplus/pop/pop-28.html Or you can try free ypops but it may no longer work with yahoo since yahoo changed there settings and pop3 address. http://ypopsemail.com/
