How do I sync Outlook 2007 with Yahoo mail?

Is it possible to set up Yahoo mail such that when I click "Mail" from Yahoo, it opens Outlook 2007?

  • I would like to use Outlook 2007 as my email program, and not Yahoo Mail. I have Yahoo set up as my email account in Outlook, but I will only see latest emails in Outlook if I have previously opened Yahoo Mail from the mail icon in My Yahoo opening page in my browser (Firefox). I would prefer to open Outlook, complete with all my emails, every time I read my mail from my browser, and not see Yahoo Mail. At present I have to go to the Outlook icon on my desktop to open it.

  • Answer:

    The following steps will set Outlook as your default mail program. On the Tools menu in Office Outlook, click Options, and then click the Other tab. Under General, select the Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar check box. Click OK and Closed Outlook. If you're using Firefox 3... 1.At the top of Firefox 3, click Tools and select Options. 2.In the "Options" window, click Applications from the choices along the top. 3.Scroll down to "mailto", and click on it. 4.In the pull-down menu to the right of "mailto", click MS Office Outlook 5.Click OK at the bottom of the Firefox 3 window. You're done!
