Make Yahoo Default Mail Program?

options menu.

Web Mail Services cannot be set as a default email program, you either have
to have them setup through programs such as Microsoft Windows Mail or Office
Outlook.

Thanks Andre, I did this exact thing with IE6, XP and Yahoo Mail.

I am sure you did, as you were able to do just that with Outlook Express.
Windows Mail no longer allows you that option.

I know that Windows Mail does not support HTTP mail, but I think POP3
support should be available through Yahoo Mail Plus service you have to pay
for.

Actually there is a nifty little program called YPOPs. It's basically a
bridge program that will allow you to access your Yahoo mail thru any e-mail
program capable of POP3. I have it running in WLM right now. Two caveats at
the moment with this particular version...

1. Leaves everything on the server, so you have to do clean up manually. Not
a big problem, just pop on once a week/month and do it there.

2. To send you have use the SMTP your ISP provides. Charter in my case for
example. Also no biggie.

Not a problem. Go back and try again and this time give a New York postcode
and a New York addresMs. Something like 4/3457 6th Ave NY NY. Doesn't matter
where you live in the big wide world this should work.
