Need help to change default mail to Mail.com..Is this possible?

[Guest]

Ok..I am a rational gal. Very infact. But I am about to pull my hair out over
this one. I am trying to change my default mail program to Mail.com (Mail.org
is my account through them), but the drop-down menu does not show it. Shows
Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo, Microsoft Office Outlook, Outlook Express. Did try the
usual suspect by going to Start-->ALL Programs-->Set Program Access and
Defaults, which of course did nothing. I am thinking something in RegEdit,
however, I have not a clue as to how I set it up..Anyone out there can help
me?

My eyes are batting, and I have a cherry on top of this question..(lol)
Almost sounds sexist..don't wanna do that! Hmmm..well ok, "Whipped Cream, a
Cherry on Top and Drizzled with Chocolate Syrup", on top of this
Question..Much Appreciated Friends!

Unless Mail.com has a utility you can download and use to make it the
default, it's not possible.

Whoops Forgot..Using Windows XP with IE6..Sorry about that!

Hmmm...I am not sure if they do..good thought.. IMA GONNA look around
Mail.com and see what I can find..Any specific words I can search for? Like
just using "mail utility", or is there another phrase? And Thanks Pa Bear!

I think they'll tell you to install their toolbar
(http://toolbar.mail.com/); I wouldn't do so.

Well PA Bear, I already have the toolbar from Mail.com, disabled everything
except the mail retrieval, and still nothing..I really do not want to change
my business accounts. I have Outlook too, but I cannot configure Outlook to
work with Mail..(To be honest, I'd PREFER to use Outlook, because I would be
able to use html in my emails).

Just looked at their (mail.com) premium services and it is gonna cost me
$3.95/mo for POP3 access so I can use it in Outlook. I just don't understand
b/c my eprompter program (Email retriever-up to 16 accounts), was able to
retrieve messages from those accounts on Mail.com, until just this
week..(Don't know the deal on that either).

If I can just get my Internet explorer to recognize Mail.com as a default,
this would not be an issue..Well Thanks PA Bear. Appreciate your time and
effort. BTW..Are you in PA? I was reared there. Miss those beautiful hills!
