How do I set up my Yahoo mailbox on a new computer?

Please close my beta mailbox on 8/21/06 and save everything until I set up my new [email protected]

  • Beta Mail needs to be closed on 8/21/06 and my mail saved and my folders so it will be here when my new computer comes next week. I am sure people go on vacations and need to close off their mailboxes somehow, please save my things here. Marilyn Harrison/Palelady3

  • Answer:

    You don't need to close your mailbox, everything will still be there when you get back. Yahoo! Mail is a web based mail. It isn't installed in your computer. It will be there no matter how many times you change computers. You can check your Yahoo! Mail from any computer, anywhere. When you get your new computer set up and if you want Yahoo! Mail to be your Default email program, you will need to install a small download to make Yahoo! Mail your default email program. When you get your computer set up just follow the directions below and it will make Yahoo! Mail your default email program. 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 program 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 • Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher http://help.yahoo.com/help/uk/mail/ext/ext-11.html

You ask to much of the great yahoo in the sky! There is a vacation response you can do, it is in mail settings. All you have to do is sign into your account and your settings will still be there.

You don't have to close your Mail Beta. Everything will still be there when you get your new computer and you get back from vacation.
