Sending Email

[Kasandra S Robinson]

I am Kasandra Robinson I can't send emails. An error keep popping up saying
something about Protocol or sever IMAP orIMTP whatever it is I can't
remember but it's similar. So why can't I send a message I am trying to
reply to an ad on Craig's List. It also happened today when I was reading my
email on my yahoo inbox. Please Help Me send email.

When you click on a MailTo link on a web page, such as a Craigslist ad,
Windows calls up the default email program. By default, that is Windows Mail.
If you want Yahoo's webmail to be the default, it requires a fix.
I've found two different sets of instructions for doing that:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/settings/settings-10.html

and
http://www.pchell.com/support/yahoomail.shtml

That latter link shows two different methods. Of those, the first one probably
does not work on Vista, so try the YAttach method.

Let us know which method worked for you.
