How do you set up Outlook express?

How can I completely delete Outlook express, and set Yahoo mail as my main outlook!?

  • Please help me with this. The funny part is that outlook express and microsoft outlook CANNOT be removed! You cant click right mouse on those icons at all! And they are not in Add/Remove programs at Control Panel! What I want is, if I see picture or text that I like is to click right mosue button and select "send" and be able to send it through Yahoo mail. I hope the question is not to complicated...

  • Answer:

    You don't need to delete or uninstall Outlook Express to make Yahoo! Mail the default email application for your computer. Click Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab > under E-mail click the down arrow and select Yahoo! Mail > click Apply. If Yahoo! Mail isn't listed as a default email option follow the directions below and it will solve your problem. Using Internet Explorer just click "Continue" on the link below to download a small 60K file that will enable Yahoo! Mail to be the default email application for your computer. Whenever you click on an email address on any web page or in any computer program, Yahoo! Mail will open for you in a new window. If Internet Explorer displays a yellow security bar at the top, click on it and select Install ActiveX Control from the menu. If a security warning comes up with Yahoo! Inc. as the publisher, click Install. Now you can click on an email address anywhere and your computer will automatically open up Yahoo! Mail for you. You can even send documents directly from Word, Excel, or other Windows applications. Requirements: Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / XP / Vista Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher http://help.yahoo.com/help/uk/mail/ext/ext-11.html

Goto: My Computer, C:/, Program Files (if you can't see anything, click yes), find Outlook Express (the folder). Delete it. If you can't, go inside and delete everything you can. If there are some left over, restart your computer and retry. Works with almost every program.

Outlook is part of the MS Office suite. Te remove it, you have to start the Office setup tool. In Control Panel, Add/remove programs, click on MS Office, you can check off what you want to install/uninstall from the following screen. To remove Outlook Express, go to Add/remove Programs, on the left, click add/remove Windows components. Uncheck Outlook Express. But to just use Yahoo as your primary email, click TOOLS at the top of this window. Click Internet Options. On the pograms tab, click the Email section and pick Yahoo from the list. click apply, click OK. There ya go.
