Can I make my computer alert me to a new email?

How can I make my yahoo email acccount my default email on my computer?

  • I went to settings on my computer and for default email it only lets me choose between outlook express and hotmail, I would like to use my yahoo email.

  • Answer:

    To make Yahoo! Mail the default email application for your computer, click Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs tab (or on Internet Explorer toolbar click Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab) > under E-mail click the down arrow and select Yahoo! Mail > click Apply and OK. If Yahoo! Mail isn't listed as a default email option, installing Yahoo! Messenger (install everything that comes with it, especially Yahoo! Browser Services, don't un-check anything), will add Yahoo! Mail to the list of email options, and if you don't want it, uninstall it ( it will leave Yahoo! as an email option ). If you already have Yahoo! Messenger, re-install it. If you don't want Yahoo! Messenger and uninstall it, it should leave Yahoo! Mail in the list of email options. You can download Yahoo! Messenger here: http://messenger.yahoo.com/ http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/settings/settings-10.html
