e-mail

[kaye]

I have yahoo as my default e-mail. but when I am on a web page and want to
send it ,the e-mail that appears in Microsoft Outlook Express. My lap top is
not setup to send Microsoft Outlook Express. SO I can't send the page. What
can I do?
Also, when I want to send an e-mail to myself It do not receive the e-mail.
How do I set it so I can send e-mails to myself?

Thanks so much

Kaye,

Do you have regular Outlook? In outlook you can setup a 3rd party webmail
address to act your default email client. Then when OE goes to look for your
client it will use your Webmail client.

If not I will keep looking for a complete Express solution.

There are two types of accessing e-mails.
One is using "web" like yahoo, gmail, and tens others. In this case
the mail remains on yahoo, gmail, etc servers. It is not downloaded to
your computer.
Other way is to use softwares like Outlook Express, Outlook,
Thunderbird etc. to set up POP account and access mail from your own
"personal computer". In this case, mail is downloaded to your
computer.
When you click on the action send by email, what happens is that
Windows loads your default e-mail client, like outlook express,
outlook, thunderbird etc. It is designed to do so that way.
For your problem you can use Yahoo toolbar addon from yahoo.

I have regular Outlook Express. I don't know how to set up a 3rd party
webmail address to act as my default email client as "Sockpuppet" suggested I
looked into each part of the outlook toolbar.
I did go to my yahoo tool bar to try to figure out how to use it to addon as
Kedar suggested. I am afraid I am to much of a novice. I need spectific
instructions to guide me. Sorry.
Thanks for all your suggetions though.
