Set up a new account all info is correct, but the when I try to connect to
Yahoo the username and password box keeps appearing even after I click ok
many times and the connection is not completed. I have checked and rechecked
all info several times. Can anyone advise ????

Hard to say without any configuration details.

Is this a free Yahoo account? If so, you cannot connect directly to the
Yahoo mail servers. You must use a proxy like http://ypopsemail.com/

WHICH Yahoo mail host? Yahoo.com maybe? It DOES matter.

If using Yahoo.com, do you have a PAID account with them? You don't get
access to their mail hosts at Yahoo.com unless you pay for it.
