change email

I am having trouble figuaring out how to change the email that pops up if I click a link like in craigslist. It comes up with outlook express and I want it to pop up with my yahoo account. Where do I need to go to change this? Thanks

You probably cannot, unless Yahoo supports POP3. I know the pay version does.

Hello,

I can see a few ways of doing this. None are perfectly easy. If you want to incorporate your Yahoo account into Outlook Express, see here: POP Yahoo! Mail with Microsoft Outlook Express | Yahoo! Mail Help

Here are the equivalent instruction using the PLUS service: How to read Yahoo! Mail Plus using Outlook Express | Yahoo! Mail Classic Help

If you have any problems, do not be afraid to ask.

If you want to click on an email and be directed to your browser with Yahoo mail open, you are asking a lot. It probably is just about possible, (start default browser with argument to open webpage, auto login), but you would probably have to hard code to the default browser, due to the changing of arguments, and you would have to manually do it through the registry, and you would not be able to supply the email link.

In conclusion, try the top method using Outlook Express.
