D Dave Jun 28, 2009 #2 When you click on a link on a website like Craigslist, it is a mailto: link, and it should open your default email program. If you prefer using Yahoo webmail, maybe the following link may help.... (I can't vouch for it) http://www.pchell.com/support/yahoomail.shtml If you wish to use Windows Mail and your Yahoo account, then you need to have the Yahoo Plus account, so you can access their POP3 server. Windows Mail cannot access the free US webmail accounts.

G Gary VanderMolen Jun 28, 2009 #4 There are some fixes that supposedly will set Yahoo Mail as your default, but I don't know how well they work. Please report back and let us know: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/settings/settings-10.html http://www.pchell.com/support/yahoomail.shtml
