I want to switch my email default from Outlook Express to Yahoo but when I try to do it from the tools menu.
I go to the tools section from the toolbar, then I click on ‘Internet Options’ which then brings up the window with all the tabs in in. When that happens I click on ‘Programs’ and then I see a list of different programs with drop down windows designed so that I choose different programs. For example, the first drop down window is for ‘HTML’, under that is ‘EMAIL’ and below that is ‘Newsgroups’. Anyhow what I want to do is change my email from what it currently says which is ‘Outlook Express’ to Yahoo email‘ so that whenever I want to email something by clicking on it, it will automatically use Yahoo and not Outlook. I’ve tried but when I click on the drop down menu the only other option in there says ‘Windows Live Mail’. I know in the past I was able to make this adjustment and can’t figure out why I can’t do it again. Does anyone out there understand my problem and, if so, can you help? Thanks, in advance, for your attention.
The drop down window only offers “Outlook Express” or ” Windows Live Mail” and nothing else.
drop the email selection down then you can pick yahoo mail
Yahoo doesn’t normally appear in the drop down options. Here is what you have to do.
Download Messenger—–all of it—–and that places Yahoo in the list. Now go back and click the drop arrow by the email line and Yahoo will now be there. Click it and then “apply and OK”.
Then, you can always remove Messenger if you don’t want it.
