Hi JJ

Open IE>Tools>Options>Programs>E-mail>select Yahoo-Mail from the drop down.

If you haven't installed Yahoo IM and/or the Yahoo Mail program, then the
option will not be there...

Try the following and see it if helps:

Neither of these would apply to an AT&T Yahoo! HSI account. AT&T users have
access to 'smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com', and 'pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com'. The
accounts are, effectively, Yahoo! Mail Plus accounts, and any help would be
based on Yahoo! Mail Plus access, not the free Yahoo! Mail access.

As Jan has stated, having the Yahoo! Mail client should give you the option
to select it as the default email application.
