How to disable old Yahoo email address?

Disabling Outlook & Setting Yahoo Mail Plus to be the auto-compose... hyperlinked email addresses?

  • When I click a hyperlinked email address in any web surfing, Outlook (which I don't even use for mail) automatically pops up a 'compose message' window. Is there a way to disable that and instead set up so that the hyperlinked email addresses I click on automatically open a Yahoo Mail Plus 'Compose Message' from my Yahoo Mail Plus web mail?

  • Answer:

    If you're using Internet Ex. Click this link, (below) from Yahoo, for detailed instructions on making Yahoo your default mail client on *Internet Explorer*. You WILL be required to download Yahoos "newest" toolbar----use the "download" link that is on that page, to be sure and get the correct one. That download adds Yahoo! Mail to your PC's list of email programs to choose from. (follow the instructions, by clicking on the "Install the Yahoo Mail Plug-in, and make Yahoo Mail my default mail provider" checkbox.) THEN, after you've chosen Yahoo! Mail as your PC's default email application (client), Yahoo! Mail will open when you click "ANY" email link in "ANY" browser, at ''ANY'' time http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/settings/settings-10.html
