Setting up yahoo as a default email?

How can I use Outlook Express when I don't have Yahoo paid email?

  • I try to repond to ads where it says "reply on this link" but, it keeps popping up Outlook Express, which never works. Why does it go to Outlook, never works, and why can't I just use regular Yahoo Email for this? Is it a setting on my computer? When I go to default mail choices on Windows XP Home Edition, Yahoo is not one of the choices to make it my defAULT EMAIL, ALLTHOUGH THIS IS THE only EMAIL i EVER OR WANT TO USE?

  • Answer:

    Outlook Express is a mail client which requires a path to download email. Without a paid account, you can' use pop3 mail with yahoo so you can't use Outlook Express. When you are on the web and you click on something that wants to use email, just right click on the link, copy the email address into your yahoo web mail view and send your email.

Clicking on mail links on web sites or programs will transfer control to your default email application (Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc). In order to use Yahoo Mail as the default email application you must install Yahoo Messenger. It then allows the Messenger program to be the interface to Yahoo Mail. You must then go to internet options and select it as the default. ✔
