Make IE default mail client (for web-based mail)

[David Foster]

Our company uses browser-based mail - we all use IE6. How can I make IE the
default mail client - so that if I click a mailto: link or an email address,
the browser opens a compose new mail window to send the mail.

Right now, we have our defaults set to Outlook Express and use OE for
sending mail only, when we click an address or mailto: link. This works
fine, but it would be better if our own familiar browser-based compose mail
window came up instead.

I saw that Yahoo! Mail has a program that can be downloaded to make Yahoo!
browser based mail the default. How would that work?

Thanks,

David

IE itself couldn't be used as a email client. Please refer the below article
to find the supported IE email clients.
