sending receiving email msgs

[Karen]

I have hotmail and yahoo accts. When i try to email a question to different
sites a msg says that it doesnt support http accts and suggested downloading
windows live. I did. The wizard does not continue to let me set up a new acct
so i cannot send or receive msgs to certain sites. what do i do?

There are different ways to resolve this.
If you prefer to continue using Yahoo webmail or Hotmail
rather than a desktop email program, you can do so, but
you must choose either Yahoo or Hotmail as the default.

Make Yahoo webmail the default:

Make Hotmail your default:

If, on the other hand, you want to get away from webmail
and would like to switch to a desktop email program, let us know.
