Why can't I get Yahoo mail in my email options list?

How do I get "Yahoo!Mail" to show up as an available email program in IE's Internet Options Programs tab?

  • It shows up on my 2 year old desktop (where I first started using Yahoo!Mail) but I cant get it to show up on my new laptop. Is there something to download?

  • Answer:

    This is what you need to do. This will solve your problem. Just follow the directions below. Teach your computer to use Yahoo! Mail. 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 can't do it. Yahoo used to have a downloadable program that would put Yahoo Mail in IE's Internet Options Programs tab, but they stopped making it available. I know this because I emailed customer service and asked. They told me that they had discontinued the program. Sorry. We're out of luck here. Bummer.
