What does it mean "You need to reinstall metamail?" And how?

I got a pop-up that said "we have detected a new version of Outlook on your
machine. You need to reintsall metamail." But no other details. This is
when I was first setting up Outlook on a new computer. I have Ofc Prof 2003,
and it asked for my email info, and I told it my address was
"(e-mail address removed)" and it asked for the URL and I said Yahoo.com. Was that
right? This is my first time using Outlook as a stand-alone. Before I was
in a network.

Do you have an addin called Metamail installed?

Unless you pay for pop3 support with Yahoo, you can't use Outlook for it.
Yahoo doesn't support Outlook's HTTP protocol (WebDAV).
